Apostrophe in char and varchar columns

HI all,
When trying to insert text into a char or varchar column that contains an
apostrophe ' I get an error message
"the value you entered is not consistant with the datatype or length of the
colum"
I know the length is not a problem, and I'm sure that ' is a char value.
How do I deal with this.
I need to import text type date, not long less thatn 100 char, from anothe
database into an sql table
Thanks
RobertOk figured it out. Makes perfect sense
Thanks
