>>Hi,
>>
>>How do you suggest to deal with a possible apostrophe in an email address (name part of the email)?
>>The code creates a SQL insert that will be executed on the server. Simplified this SQL insert looks like this:
>>
>>cSqlInsert = "INSERT INTO EMAILSEND (FROM_NAME, FROM_EMAIL, TO_EMAIL) values " + ;
>>"('" + lcSendName + "', '" + lcSenderEmail + "', '" + lcRecipientEmail + "' )"
>>>>
>>But if the variable storing the recipient email has an apostrophe (e.g. O'Neil), the program bombs with run-time error. How do I change the lcRecipientEmail above so that it would work with any email address?
>>
>>TIA
>>
>>UPDATE. I think I just need to apply the following:
>>
>>
>>lcRecipientEmail = "'" + STRTRAN(lcRecipientEmail,['],['']) + "'"
>>

>Yes. Your best bet is to create a routine to do this and send every string through it. After all, names can have apostrophes, too, like O'Rourke.
