    Duplicate Entry Error

    I have the below code in field called Vendor Name. This prevents duplicate entries and takes the user to the existing record. It works great except if I add a new Vendor Name that has an apostrophe (example: Staple's Office Supplies) I get an error (3075). Is there anyway to prevent this?

    Private Sub VendorName_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
    If Me.NewRecord Then


    Dim VendorID As String
    Dim stLinkCriteria As String
    Dim rsc As DAO.Recordset
    Set rsc = Me.RecordsetClone
    VendorID = Me.VendorName.Value
    stLinkCriteria = "[VendorName]=" & "'" & VendorID & "'"
    'Check Vendor table for duplicate Vendors
    If DCount("VendorName", "UtilVendors", _
    stLinkCriteria) > 0 Then
    'Undo duplicate entry
    Me.Undo
    'Message box warning of duplication
    MsgBox "Warning Vendor Name " _
    & VendorID & " has already been entered." _
    & vbCr & vbCr & "You will now be taken to the record.", _
    vbInformation, "Duplicate Information"
    'Go to record of original Vendor Name
    rsc.FindFirst stLinkCriteria
    Me.Bookmark = rsc.Bookmark
    End If
    Set rsc = Nothing
    End If
    End Sub

    Use the following code instead:
    stLinkCriteria = "[VendorName]=" & Chr(34) & VendorID & Chr(34)
