If you just want the letters f, i, e, l, and d in quotes,
then use:

"""field"""

If you want the value of a variable named field then use:

"""" & field & """"

Ick! I find that syntax completely kludgy-looking.
I'd use: Chr(34) & "Field" & Chr(34) instead.
It's clear if not the most concise syntax but it doesn't leave one counting
"s to figure out what is meant looking at the code 6 months later...

^^^ - even ickier!
....or I'd use: chr(34) & field & chr(34)

That's fine Mark, but each to their own.
