Quotes work if you escape them properly with \' or precede the string with
@ when you'd need to double the quotes as escape sequences would not be
processed.
But can't you use a stored query in Access or stored procedure in SQL Server
database, if you are using either of them? Inline SQL is bit awkward to
maintain.

Is there another way to do this with SQL?
