INSERT INTO (Unmatched Single Quotes)

Does MS Access utilize something like a backlash (\) to make the
following SQL code work?

(SQL uses a backlash (\) to make the following SQL code work).

Here is my code:

INSERT INTO my_contacts
VALUES ('Funyon', 'Steve', 'steve@onionflavoredrings.com', 'M',
'1970-04-01', 'Punk', 'Grover's Mill, NJ', 'Single', 'smashing the
state', 'compatriots, guitar players');

I removed the unmatched single quote in the word ('Grover's -->
'Grovers) to make the code work in MS Access.

Thanks for your ideas!

apostrophe as it should.

Here's my code:

INSERT INTO my_contacts
VALUES ('Funyon', 'Steve', 'steve@onionflavoredrings.com', 'M',
'1970-04-01', 'Punk', 'Grover''s Mill, NJ', 'Single', 'smashing the

Don't know about the \. Not sure why the code above would work without
a field list.

You might be better off using a " instead of ' when surrounding the
values. IOW, "Grover's Mill, NJ" instead of 'Grover's Mill, NJ'

I created Table1 with fields F1 and F2. The following code worked IF a
record exists in Table1. If no records existed, nothing was inserted.

INSERT INTO Table1 ( F1, F2 )
SELECT Distinct "Test" , "Value" FROM Table1;

The above statement might be easier to write.
