Comment character problem in SQL statement / ASP VBscript

I am using some variables in my INSERT INTO SQL statement and I noticed that when one of my variables contains a VB comment  (') character I get an error message about sql string syntax error. Logcaly I understand what is hapening, but still ..... is there a simple solution to this?

Example:

This is what my variable looks like

MyVar = "abc123-2'"  //     abc123-2' - so the variable has ' sign in the end

And the statement is

mySQL = "INSERT INTO "MyTableName" (Column1, Column2)  VALUES ('" & TextVar & "','" & MyVar & "')"

I wonder,,, :)

Thanks in advance
