FindFirst and Apostrophe
I get "error 3077 Syntax Error (missing operator) in expression" in this
expression: Rst.FindFirst "[Section]='" & Me!NewSection & "'" when Me!NewSection contains an apostrophe. How can I write the FindFirst expression so it works whether or not Me!NewSection contains an apostrophe? Thanks! Mark

I get "error 3077 Syntax Error (missing operator) in expression" in this expression: Rst.FindFirst "[Section]='" & Me!NewSection & "'" when Me!NewSection contains an apostrophe. How can I write the FindFirst expression so it works whether or not Me!NewSection contains an apostrophe? Thanks! Mark

How can I write the FindFirst expression so it works whether or not Me!NewSection contains an apostrophe? As others have said the double quote thing, that can bring about the same problem if your text contains a double quote. The answer is to double up your quotes, e.g. Rst.FindFirst "[Section]='" & Replace(Me!NewSection,"'","''") & "'" -- Error reading sig - A)bort R)etry I)nfluence with large hammer
