Darren,

Try to invert quotation marks and double quotation marks.

SELECT References_main
SCAN
lcSql = ‘UPDATE Referenc Set rf_ordr = “’;
+ ALLTRIM(References_main.rf_ordr) + ‘”,’;
+ ‘rf_para = “’ + ALLTRIM(References_main.rf_ordr) + ‘”,’;
+ ‘rf_Title = “’ + ALLTRIM(References_main.rf_Title) + ‘”,’;

* Below is a memo field

+ “rf_text = ‘” + REFERENCES_MAIN.rf_text + “’”;
+ ‘ WHERE rf_num = ‘ + ALLTRIM(STR(references_main.rf_num))

lnTest = SQLPREPARE(THIS.ln130Checklist,lcSql)
ENDSCAN


>I am doing a update sqlexec command in my system and i am haveing trouble with my update command because some of my memo fields have ' marks in it, which makes my sql server error out before it gets to the end of my sql command. Does sql passthrough on sql server require the ' marks around all char field or is their another way I can insert this directly into a sql server text field.
