Here's a reference from VFP help:

Creating Character Expressions
See Also

Compose character expressions by combining character operators with the following Visual FoxPro elements:

Character fields.


Functions that return character values.


Variables and array elements that contain character data.


Character constants, called string literals.
You can embed quotation marks(" and ') in a character string by enclosing the character string within square brackets ([ ]):

STORE [Robert's Diner] TO cCompanyName
STORE [See the "Sunday Special"] TO cBanner

You can also embed quotation marks by enclosing the character string with quotation marks of the alternate type:

STORE "Robert's Diner" TO cCompanyName
STORE 'See the "Sunday Special"' TO cBanner
