Inserting Text into table replaces apostrophes with ?

When we insert text into field in a table, SQL SERVER apparently
replaces apostrophes with question marks -- is there a way to not have
this occur? We don't have this happen with the mySQL databases that
we also support.

Much help appreciated.

issue occurred. My problem was the MS 'smart quotes' so I had to replace
them prior to inserting.

To prevent future apostrophe bugs and errors, isn't it just simpler to forbid an apostrophe from being entered into a text field? For example, couldn't "Alice's Restaurant" be changed to "Alices Restaurant" etc. automatically and programmatically during data entry? This would eliminate my concatinated strings from producing errors when I base the string on a query. Think this is an example of the "Dreaded Apostrophe Bug." If I enter a...

Hi. This should be so easy, but I don't get it. Let say I have RichTextbox1 and I want to insert some text at the current insertion point, or at the beginning of selected text (if there is any). How is this done? Also, how do I delete the current selection? Thanks.
