Error when passing text with apostorphies

I have a string (holding a book title) that contains an apostrophe.
This is generating an error when I try to pass it through sql into a
table of orders.
I retrieve it from the form with

title=request.form("title")
I'm trying to pass it through with: '"&rs("title")&"'

This isn't working. I tried taking out the ' ' but that didn't help,
nor did elmiminating the " " help eather. Can someone suggest what
might be the problem?

Thanks,

Bill

Why don't you use a join, instead of nesting recordsets that way?
