MySQL: and Quotation Marks **Resolved**

[Mark Gambo]

How would I use the following string to data from a MySQL Table:

Mark's Computer

I have tried the following and no luck:

1) I have used the escape Character (Back Slash \) followed by a single
quote (\') as documented in the MySQL Help File - No Good
2) I also tried changing the entire string into Ascii - No Good
3) I Used the MySQL escape character again '\' and typed the Ascii code
after it - No Good

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE ComField ='[COLOR=Red]Mark's[/COLOR]'"

Any Ideas?

I forgot to add that I am able to save (insert) the following string without a problem:

Mark's Computer's Mouse

But when I attempt to retrieve that record I get the following error message:
