Problem with apostrophes!!

My MySQL insert statements is returning errors when a field has an apostrophe in it. (I.E. Ken's) is there a way to get around that without using the \ in front of the apostrophes?? I've never had this problem before, in the past (on different servers) when a variable is inserted, it just accepted it. Help!! I need to know A.S.A.P.
