  Hi gpi thanks for your answer.
  
  I've change my single quote to double by doing

  cName := StringReplace( cName, chr(34), chr(39 ), [rfReplaceAll] )
  

  but still gets the same error with the same code I mentioned.
  
  Maybe I need to change also that code , where I assign the reports's variable ?

  Use

  frxReport1.Variables.Variables['Name'] := '''' + 'SMITH''''S' + '''';
  

  or

  frxReport1.Script.Variables['Name'] := 'SMITH''S';

  What gpi is saying is that you need to replace any single quotes in the string with TWO SINGLE quotes, like you do in Delphi literals in your code.
  NOT a double-quote character, which is what you thought you saw.
  This is because variables are treated like tiny scripts.

  Thank you LurkingKiwi
  
  Now I undestand what you and gpi mean. I was replacing the single quote by a double quote .
  When I change to 2 single quotes, works perfect.
  
  Excuse me gpi if I dont understand you before.
  
  Thanks both a lot.
