[AccessD] SQL statement problem

On a couple of occasions where I've run into this, I've replaced the 
Chr$(39) with a Chr$(96) which doesn`t look to dissimilar (that's 
what's in the previous "doesn`t") and is very rarely used.

I Replace() it back wherever I can before displaying the data, but if 
it sneaks through raw into a query or report it remains quite 
readable.

I normally use a couple of simple functions:

Function SafeQuote(data as string) as string
	SafeQuote = Replace(data,Chr$(39),Chr$(96) 
End Function

Function RealQuote(data as string) as string
	RealQuote = Replace(data,Chr$(96),Chr$(39) 
End Function

In this case it becomes
"Insert into...... SafeQuote(ErrDescription)....."
