I spoke to the company that is hosting my web site and DB, although I did not
asked them in details as to what sort of problem it might cuase or have
caused in the past, but they did told me that it has been a problem in the
past where their hosting site(s) needing to store ' within SQL and have
encountered some issue.

They have asked me to seek advice on their behalf as to what can/should they
do to overcome such problem.

Many thanks

Owen
