Handling Apostrophes



History:

Took over development of Access project after half of app was
developed. Continued the second half using same coding style as first
developer, but improved upon code and flow, etc. Almost all of the
insertions and deletions were done as DoCMD.RunSQL strSQL.

Our current problem:

All of our prototyping for the business tool was done in with
insertions and deletions, as above, without regard to the problem
introduced by apostrophes.

Rather than rewrite code, I considered using a replace function to
intelligently replace apostrophes with accent marks (underneath tilde).
There are more complex ways of handling this problem, but most require
extensive reworking of existing code.

Any ideas?
