Hello all,

I'm having a problem with an apostrophe being in a city name that I'm
trying add to one of my maps.

This is what the .map file looks like where it calls the city name:

EXPRESSION ('[NAME]' = "O'NEILL" and '[ST]' = "NE")

I've checked the shape file and it is in there exactly like it is shown
above: O'NEILL

All the other cities for this map show up just fine, but that one does
not.

Any ideas on how I can get around the " ' " in the city name? Or is this
just not possible?

Thanks for any help!
