Incorrect syntax near ''. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ' '

Question

I\'m just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction here, I think i\'ve been looking at it for too long so can\'t see the mistake.

The following code:

Answer 1

[textColour] = '" + txtColour + "WH

Missing a single quote:

[textColour] = '" + txtColour + "'WH

EDIT: While I simply pointed out why the error was happening, the poster below me is correct about using parametrized queries for these sorts of things; or perhaps an ORM such as LINQ
