You can also use:
cMyString = "a string with ' " + CHR(34) + " [ and ]."
A string can contain ANY characters using CHR(0) through CHR(255) !

>I meant a SINGLE constant. Imagine - you need to build query conditions in runtime and user typed all these characters. You make following:
> MyConditions = MyConditions + ' AND [' + UserInput + ']'

> SELECT ...
> WHERE &MyConditions

> Above will not work when UserInput contains all ', " and []. Need to use special string functions to split it apart as you mentioned. Why so complex? Why not just make it As I use now for SQL Server:
> MyConditions = MyConditions + " AND '" + STRTRAN(UserInput,"'","''") + "'"
