There are several ways of including a double quote in a string literal (a hard coded string):

  1. The Chr function - Chr$(34)
  2. Doubling them up - ""

The recommended method is to double them up as it is compiled as a static string rather than having to create it dynamically and call the Chr() function at runtime.

MsgBox "There is one double quote >""< here."

This example will show a messagebox containing:

There is one double quote >"< here.

Happy quoting.
