I am trying to add a string that contains a single quote, but I am getting an error. I assumed that I would put a back slash before the single quote, but that does not seem to work. The statement is shown below where the single quote follows the word Attempt. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Here is the exact SQL statement:
INSERT INTO TRANS_TABLE
(Id, TransString, PoundDef, Filename)
VALUES
(0, 'Attempt\' to connect to %U?', 'qtn_ics_ap_conne ct_text', 'agentdialog_00.loc')


Here is the error string:

DBD::ODBC::st execute failed: MicrosoftODBC Microsoft Access DriverCOUNT field incorrect (SQL-07002)(DBD: s t_execute/SQLExecute err=-1) at D:\perlScripts\AddLocToDatabase\AddLocToDatabase.pl line 203, <> line 4.
