Hello,
In Holland we've got name like 't Oever I like to split 't from oever and put it in different columns. I use the update query below but I have a problem with the ' sign in 't. The [ ] or " " signs does not help to make clear it is a part of the name and not part of the sql language.

Update persons
set Voorv = '['t]', naam = substring (naam,4,50)
Where Naam like ''t %'
Go

How can I solve this problem
