    problem with " when reading formula's from the database.

    Dear All, I created a simple macro which records cell content into the database regardless if this is value (i.e. 5.95) or a formula (+$B$3*$C$7). However if the formula contains some string manipulation (for example: "something"&named.value) then inserting it back into the cell triggers an error. I tried using \ (i.e. when reading from the database I transformed string into \"something\"&named.value) but this would return me an error.

    please help

    You need to double quote, \ is not an escape character in VBA
