J8: Did you see that? He jomtied Fnord when he came in, where's MY hello?
Fnord: Hi Dave, nice jomty there.

..you had a ' in the example. For some reason it hates having ' characters in a database

# Workaround
Add some script that doubles up the quotes, e.g.

Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = '''

NewStatement = regEx.Replace(OldStatement, '''')

Or something like that.

Hope that helps!
