[AccessD] Programmatically change cell formulae in Ecel

Patti,

Given SQL Server's "respect" for single quotes, here's another trick (which
you may already know). When accepting a name such as O'Connor, do a Replace
of single quote with a pair of single quotes. That gets the data in as you
wanted. I ran into this very often in an app a while ago, and eventually
wrote a function to deal with it:

Function sqTo2sq( ByRef str as String )
   If Instr( str, Chr(39) ) > 0 then
      sqTo2sq = Replace( str, Chr(39), (Chr(39) & Chr(39) )
   End If
End Function

I didn't copy and paste, so this is the gmail compiler at not work. But
that's a best guess.
