.filter statement on name with apostrophy

I have the following filter statement to narrow down to the currently logged in user.

Code:

---

Forms![Incidents List].FilterOn = False
    Forms![Incidents List].RecordSource = "Qry_Incidents"
    Forms![Incidents List].Filter = "([staff_name] like '" & username & "' or [staff_supervisor] like '" & username & "')"
    Forms![Incidents List].FilterOn = True

---

The Staff_name and Staff_supervisor fields have some names with ' in the name like O'Brien.

I get a syntax error when it encounters one.

How can I effectively search a name like this?

Thank you,

You've posted I the wrong forum and we don't know what technologies you're using so the chances of you getting a useful answer are currently very low. Is this Access, SQL Server, something else. And what front end language is it? VBA, .Net?

I can tell you that in SQLServer you escape an apostrophe by putting another apostrophe in front of it. So to query for O'Brien you can say:-

Code:

---

Where Name = 'O''Brien'

---

I don't know if that's helpful to you or not though.
