replace quotes?

Hello I'm on Coldfusion 10 and I'm trying to figure out how to replace quotes ("). So far I tried this:

<cfset Session.Artist1 = Replace(Session.Artist1,"&quot;","&quot;",'ALL') >

That does nothing, I then tried this:

<cfset Session.Artist1 = Replace(Session.Artist1,"&#34","&quot;",'ALL') >

That errors out CF. I'll get this:

Error Occurred While Processing Request

Invalid construct: Either argument or name is missing.

So is there anything that would work in CF and in SQL for " (quotes)? I having people use the HTML &quot;, but that also shows up in SQL as the coding. I would like it to work in CF and in SQL as just ", but can't figure out how. Any help would be great.

Thanks
