Unfortunately, a single quote is also an apostrophe, which is frequently included in brand names. The only reason your program didn't prevent it is that my Mac automatically turns them into single "curly" quotes, which your program does accept, but bombs upon finding. Also, apparently the ampersand and percent characters are problems. After finding and removing the above, the database imported fine. I have to say that the process of finding and correcting these problems is a tedious, trial and error debugging. I shouldn't have to do it. None of those characters, or any other commonly used ones, should be prohibited.
