Try escape characters. For example to place a single quote in a text field
use \' instead of ' the backslash tells SQL interpreter that the next
character
is not a special character but simply part of the string. Other examples
are:
\\ interprets as a single backslash character in the string
\" interprets as a double quote character in the string
Hope this helps.
