Create a function to replace apostrophe with double apostrophe.  This is the
way I do it..
 
Function SafeQuote(ByVal strQuote As String) As String
    SafeQuote = Replace(strQuote, "'", "''")
End Function
ex.
 
Ado_Rs.Find "Lastname = '" & SafeQuote(txtLastname.txt) & "'"

Subject: [vbhelp] Searching for apostrophe's...





Got a problem!

I have to check a DB to see if a record is a duplicate.  The main 
thing I am checking is first and last name.  These name often have 
apostrophe's!!!!  How in the world am I going to use findfirst or 
seek this way?  

The only thing I can think of is to write a program to substitute 
them for another character before searching, then change them back.  
This database has a lot of records, probably going to be about 500k.  

Any ideas?

Chris
