Example:-
Code: 
customerName = Replace(customerName, "'", "''")
 
So it would possibly be:-

Code:

Nifty, Thanks!
So are you saying to only add this line of code where you show it?
Code: 
 strDescription = Replace(strDescription, Chr(34), Chr(34) & Chr(34))
I am confused , doesn't this replac e

ah, uncle Giz, took me sleeping on it to realize we are just replacing with double quotes. I knew I needed to step away for a bit. 😊

The way I have answered the question is somewhat confusing. To Clarify:-

There are several ways of doing it, Philipp Stiefel shows one way:- customerName = Replace(customerName, "'", "''") this is for replacing single quotes. It appears that Philipp uses single quotes as his string delimiters, which is fine. You can use either single or double quotes, as long as you are consistent. You might ask why would you use one or the other?

If you used double quotes as string delimiters, and were entering people's names, names like this --- Mr O' Brien --- these names would be entered correctly, without any modification to the code.

If you knew that you were going to be entering a lot of data in inches like --- 20" --- then you could construct your SQL Statements using single quotes and when the text entered contains double quotes, it would be entered correctly without any modification to the code.

I suspect the major difference in the choice of using single or double depends on if you are writing SQL Statements for MS Access or MSSQL Server. I think (I don't know) the convention for SQL Server is to use single quotes and the convention for Microsoft Access is to use double quotes. I suspect you can use either single or double in either environment, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Maybe someone that is more familiar with MSSQL Server would chip in?

These are all valid replace statements.

Replace Single Quotes
1) customerName = Replace(customerName, "'", "''")
2) customerName = Replace(customerName, Chr(39), Chr(39) & Chr(39))
Chr(39) is the ASCII code for a Single Quote and because you are entering the ASCII code you do not need to delimit it with the speech marks (double quotes)

Replace Double Quotes
1) customerName = Replace(customerName, """, """")
2) customerName = Replace(customerName, Chr(34), Chr(34) & Chr(34))
Chr(34) is the ASCII code for a Double Quote and because you are entering the ASCII code you do not need to delimit it with the speech marks (double quotes)

Why do we have this problem with the quotes in SQL statements?

If the double quote is used as the SQL Statement delimiter as in the following sample SQL Statement:-

SQL: 
strSQLQuoteDetailsInsert = "INSERT INTO tblOrderDetails(ItemNo, EstID, ModelNo, Description) VALUES (" & strItemNo & ", " & lngEstID & ", " & strModelNo & ", " & strDescription & ")"

If the variable passed in "strDescription" contains a Double Quote then your SQL Statement would see that Double Quote as a text delimiter for the SQL Statement and not part of the passed through text.

strSQLQuoteDetailsInsert = "INSERT INTO tblOrderDetails(ItemNo, EstID, ModelNo, Description) VALUES (" & strItemNo & ", " & lngEstID & ", " & strModelNo & ", " & strDescription & ")"

If the variable passed in "strDescription" contains a Double Quote then your SQL Statement would see that Double Quote as a text delimiter for the SQL Statement and not part of the passed through text.

The problem is that I have Single quotes and double quote that are in the string, such as: 2'-6" long, 4'-0" wide.
What the hell do I do now?
I am starting to wonder if I can use a macro and just run some append queries or If I will run into the same issues.

Have you tried the code that I posted? I think it should work, because if you're using double quotes then single Quotes will pass through OK, and the Replace code will replace any double Quotes.

Yes I did, it changed the string that came through and put double quotes in the string. Although I am not 100% sure I understand your code. It looks to me it replaces everything I’m the string where a quote is to double quotes. Is that how it is supposed to act?

Here is what the immediate window give me on break:
?strSQLQuoteAccessInsert
INSERT INTO tblOrderAcc(OrderDetailID, ItemNo, EstID, ModelNo, Description, Qty, Price) VALUES (9, "1", 19, " ", ""Pot Sink with rolled rim, 30"""" wide x 12'-0"""" long, with (3) 30"""" long x 26"""" wide x 15"""" deep. (3) lever drains. Faucets by others."", 1, 224.0304)

For some reason the code gives me a inappropriate use of null for the ModelNo field even though it is not null.
Also, for the second and third records in the details section of the insert, I have changed the setting of the variable to this:
Code: 
curAccessPrice = Nz(rsQuoteDetailsList!AccessPrice, 0)
Do to the fact that some records will have null in the field for the records regularly.
It will happen for the Model Number in the details and accessories sections as well on some occasions.

Here is my current code, I cannot seem to get the details or the accessories records to come into the orders detail and order accessories tables.
I am getting frustrated.

Code:

    varInput = InputBox("Enter quote number for new order:")
    If IsNumeric(varInput) = False Then
        MsgBox varInput & " is not a valid quote number"
        Exit Function
    End If

    neworder = CLng(varInput)
    
    Dim rsQuoteList As DAO.Recordset

Not sure if you saw my other two posts below, but I am making it through the code until the insert for the accessories, I can't understand why the details portion makes it through but not the accessories portion.

Even thogh it is still not writing the first record to the details table
 
A lot has happened in this thread since I was away and so pardon me if someone already mentioned this, but I noticed there was some discussion about needing char(34), ", around text and just wanted to throw in this tip:

Access will also accept single quotes, which means you can reduce the complexity of the VBA significantly by simply leveraging this approach rather than using double quotes at all.

strSQL = "select * from table where textcolumn=" & chr(34) & SomeVariable & chr(34)

becomes

strSQL = select * from table where textcolumn='" & SomeVariable & "'"

Isaac, I am so frustrated I am looking for a new solution to my problem.
Here is what I need to accomplish:

Table 1: Quotes - fields: PK=QuoteID, QuoteNumber, Desc
Table 2: QuoteDetails - fields: PK=QuoteDetailsID, FK-QuoteID, Desc, Qty, Price
Table 3: QuoteAccesories - fields: PK=QuoteAccID, FK=QuoteDetailsID, Desc, Qty, Price

These tables are related by the obvious fields shown.
The description for both the QuoteDetails and the QuoteAcc tables typically have strings with this type of info - "2'-4" long x 4'-6" wide"
I need to copy the related records from all three tables using QuoteNumber (or even QuoteID if that's easier) to an Orders set of tables with the same fields (but there are other fields as well.)

I have been struggling to get the code in all the previous posts to work past the initial Quote table being copied to the order table - in other words no QuoteDetails records or QuoteDetailAcc records are getting inserted to the appropriate orders tables.

This is the last step before I can begin using and refining this database and I am at my wits end.
 
Personally, I would create a new thread that defines/frames the specific problem you're having now. You might get a fresh set of eyes focused on the narrow problem at hand. Remember to post the specific problem and the code you've used/using that's not producing desired results.

I will do that but my code is initially flawed because I do not understand how to create the proper recordset for the final accessories table since the quote id is no longer present in the accessories table due to normalization rules. (ie, the quoteID is not in the table for the accessories, only the quoteDetailsID)

Are you saying it's working? or have you got a problem?

If a problem, then you can do some tests yourself.

Set up a temporary table with data in it, sample data that you can pass through using the insert into query. You'll only need 5 or 10 records. Keep changing the contents of the records until you get it working, and then add characters back in until it breaks. You should be able to identify what is causing the problem.

It is working for the parent table but not for the child tables.
I am not sure my nested loops are correct.
 
have not tested yet.

I have actually solved the problem of getting the INSERT INTO not working.
Could you look at my new code and tell me where I am going wrong with the looping for this line: Do Until rsOrderDetailsList.EOF
I am getting data from another record in the child table.
I will take a look at your code and try to figure out what you are trying to show me.
Thank you
