multiple field statment

I have a table that has 9 fields.
in some cases a record may almost be a duplicate of another record except
for one of the fields.
so I was thinking I need to write a statment to where I have to say what
each field equals, but I haven't had any luck
here is what I tried.
Select * from MyTable where field1 = "this" and field2 = "a" and field3 =
"test"
How do I write that statement correctly?
Thanks
Replace " with '. SQL uses a single quote to delimit literal strings rather
than a double quote. If that doesn't solve your problem then please tell us
exactly the wording of any error message you are getting.
