    special characters to be inserted

    Hi all
    I tried to insert a string including special characters like apostrophe s ('s) using a richboxtext in vb6 to sql server 2000 database. I cant insert this string and I always get an error message. if I remove that ('s) then I can insert. please help me to find a solution soon.

    thanks buddy
