I get "error 3077 Syntax Error (missing operator) in expression" in this
expression:
Rst.FindFirst "[Section]='" & Me!NewSection & "'"
when Me!NewSection contains an apostrophe.

How can I write the FindFirst expression so it works whether or not
Me!NewSection contains an apostrophe?

Thanks!

As others have said the double quote thing, that can bring about the
same problem if your text contains a double quote. The answer is to
double up your quotes, e.g.

Rst.FindFirst "[Section]='" & Replace(Me!NewSection,"'","''") & "'"
