I have an Access database table with a number of text (memo fields) that contain "CRLF, hyphens, commas, apostophes, quotes, and formatting tags" that I'm importing into a sql server database table.
 
The issue is the sql server table doesn't import these, so where what should have been displayed a paragraph, with sentences and formatting is now a big blob of text.
 
Anyone have an idea what I should be doing in the import from Access to SQL?

sql data fields shouldn't contain single or double quotes - it's part of the sql syntax and can alter sql statements.
 
Check out the field validation routine used in the forum code. It replaces "bad" characters with their ascii counterparts.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
