VB6 - Save to access dbase issue with apostrophe

Hi all

I have this application that will save date from mu MSHFlexgrid1 to my Microsoft Access dbase.

But every time that i have a name with ' (apostrophe) in the TextMatrix, ex: L'EXTRA, it cause an issue that it dont want to save it cause missing operation in query expression (Error syntax).

But if i remove the ', it same with no problem.

Would you know why and how i can fix this?

Thanks again for your help

Macro to svae the data

  Dim i As Long, strSQL As String
            Dim j As Long
            Dim MyConn As ADODB.Connection

            Set MyConn = New ADODB.Connection

            MyConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;;Data Source=" & MDIForm1.dta_base_link_audit_tms.Text


            MyConn.Open


            With MSHFlexGrid1
                For i = .FixedRows To .Rows - 1
                    strSQL = "INSERT INTO " & Form3.rate_table_audit.Text & _
                             " (TYPE_OF_RATE, CARRIER_ID, MODE_RATE, EFFECTIVE_DATE, EXPIRATION_DATE, SERVICE_COMMITMENT, EquipmentClass, RATE_GROUP_ID, RATE_TYPE, MINIMUM_CHARGE, VARIABLE_RATE, FLAT_RATE, UNIT_TYPE, UNIT_SIZE, PER_UNIT_CHARGE, CURRENCY_RATE, FREE_STOP, ADD_STOP_RATE, MAX_STOPS, ORIGIN, ORIGIN_COUNTRY, DESTINATION, DESTINATION_COUNTRY, FUEL, FUEL_RATE, NOTES, INTERNAL_COMMENTS, TODAY_DATE, REQUESTER, DONE_BY, ID_RECORDS, WEEK_OF_YEAR) VALUES " & _
                             " ('" & .TextMatrix(i, 0) & "', '" & .TextMatrix(i, 1) & "', '" & _

                    MyConn.Execute (strSQL)
                Next

                MyConn.Close
                Set MyConn = Nothing

You should escape apostrophes inside text values. If not, then Access understand that your text (String) terminates on this apostrophe, as apostrophe is the character for limiting strings in Access.

For escaping a single quote (= apostrophe) in Access, you just have to add another apostrophe.

So you should change your .TextMatrix(i, xxx) by: replace(.TextMatrix(i,xxx), "'", "''")

Hope it helps. Regards.

HI

but if i replace(.TextMatrix(i,xxx), "'", "''") and my value in my textbox = L'EXTRA , would that just remove the apostrophe even if i need to keep it? My problem is that some cities have apostrophe and i need to keep it.

gplana

No, it won't remove it. It will change it by 2 apostrophes, which makes Access interpret a single apostrophe, because two apostrophes between apostrophes are interpreted by access as an apostrophe between apostrophes.

Just try it ;)

I updated the script to the below. I will test this and let you know about the result. So far, it works on Textmatrix 19 in both scenarios, with or without apostrophie
