Does anyone know a simple command to get rid of all non-printable characters from a field. I have a nomenclature field and the user has been entering some carriage returns, tabs, and control characters (inadvertantly) Is there a way that I can get rid of those characters and leave the alpha numeric printable stuff. I know I can do a loop reading every character and checking for its ascii value, but what I was looking for was a function that can be used in a replace statement. TIA
