Corrects for reserved SQL characters in SQL queries. This will correct your SQL statement if an apostrophe or 'pipe' character is in the SQL query. It is a better fix than the SQL functions which replace ' with '' because those will actually still fail in certain situations (such as in FindFirst commands).
Inputs
Bad SQL statement as string
Code Returns
Proper SQL Statement as string
VBcodersPublic Function SQL_Fix(ByVal sSQL as string) as string
Dim sTempSQL as string
'replace apostrophes
sTempSQL = Replace(sSQL, "'", "' & Chr(39) & '")
'replace pipe symbols
SQL_Fix = Replace(sTempSQL, "|", "' & Chr(124) & '")
End Function
