hey guys

i need to change all the commas (,) in my entire table to semicolons (;). i'm using access and i heard about this replace function, and i heard that i could use it as a select query, then an update query and it didnt work. i figured that they dont work in access. then i looked around on the web some more and everyone said that the replace function is really a vb function. is that true? i really dont know vb, and since i'm using access i guess it would be more like vba anyway. so what would the syntax in access look like? i'm pretty confused

any help would be greatly appreciated,
brad coleman

Hey Brad

Unfortunately not many here are access gurus... hehe

But this question has come up before

http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17040

If this isn't enough,use the forum search for replace() or maybe just replace(

Hopefully you'll be able to get the anwer from there.

Yeah, and it didn't really get answered then, either!
There are plenty of versions out there, this is one:
