I am having trouble loading an Access DB using Win32::ODBC. The code is loading a path and file name into a table and it fails when the path name contains an apostrophe: e..g, H:\DCIM\Paula's scrap book\P1.jpg.

If I remove the apostrophe, the field in the table is populated without error. Otherwise, I get the following in error: 

Database insert error insert_jpg Subroutine: [-3100] [1] [0] "[Microso
+ft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in 
+query expression ''H:\DCIM\Paula's scrap book\P1.jpg')'."

In the code example below, $j[0] = H:\DCIM\Paula's scrap book\P1.jpg

Can anyone tell me how to load this string without stripping out the apostrophe in Paula's?

Here is my code snippet: 

$SqlStr = "INSERT INTO tbl_jpgs (jpg_seq, suborder, filename) VALUES( 
+$rcd,$i,'$j[0]')";

sub insert_jpg
{
  my $SqlStr = shift;
  if ($objDC->Sql("$SqlStr"))
  {
    die "Database insert error insert_jpg Subroutine: " . $objDC-> Err
+or() . "\n";
  }
}
