Symptoms


People picker control not accepting active directory display names that have apostrophes
 

Diagnoses


We have people picker controls that will populate names with apostrophes and then save them. However, when the data loads we receive an error and it will not display the data.
Error message:

Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ') SELECT [Name] ,[DisplayName] ,[Title] ,[Department] ,[Email] ,[FirstName] ,[LastName] ,[Description] ,[Phone] ,[Mobile] ,[DistinguishedName] ,[Street] ,[City] ,[Country] ,[State] ,[Company] ,[Office] ,[PostCode] FROM [_TempTable3] WHERE RowNum BETWEEN (1 - 1) * 100 1 AND 1 * 100 ORDER BY [DisplayName] ASC Set @ReturnCountBroker = @@RowCount'.

I have the same issue with the Picker control when the contents have an apostrophe. Does this fix address the picker control in general or just people picker?

 

Thanks,
