To get double quotes inside a string you have to double them up and use 2 
double quotes

"NOT ('Project Status' = ""Completed"" OR 'Project Status' = ""Cancelled"" OR 
'Project Status' = ""Rejected"" OR 'Project Status' = ""Closed"" OR 'Project 
Status' = ""Failed"")"

** For the internal double quotes I think you need to use four quotes like """" 
as below

"NOT ('Project Status' ="  + """" +  "Completed" + """" + " OR 'Project Status' 
= " +  """" +  "Cancelled" + .....

Hi all,

Please assist,

I'm trying to set a query string into a field, using an Active Link, which i 
want to use in an External qualification.
eg:
"NOT ('Project Status' = "Completed" OR 'Project Status' = "Cancelled" OR 
'Project Status' = "Rejected" OR 'Project Status' = "Closed" OR 'Project 
Status' = "Failed")"

Remedy wont let me save, get an error message (Unexpected Character) when i 
modify the Action on the Active Link.
Any idea how I can get this to work?

Regards,
Vimal
