This is not exactly a C# question, but I'm not sure where else to ask it. I have an Access database program I wrote some years earlier. I am porting it into C# and trying to import the data from the older database to a newer version of the same database. Some tables are not identical, so I am writing an import feature. The problem I am having is when importing from a memo or text field where the data includes " or ' characters since these characters are needed outside the SQL statement to indicate a text import. Example: "INSERT INTO [Table] ([Field1]) VALUES ('This is a 'very' large project.') Thanks in advance for any help. S Hurt
