Agnes, just a thought. Processing your string in a loop from char 1 to char n will be faster (I think) then putting a StrTran() function in a loop with AT() as the loop condition as per your other posting.
This is because the StrTran() will need to parse the entire string each time and the AT() will need to parse a larger and larger portion of the string each time untill the end is reached. Processing the string one char at a time and building a new string I think is the fastest method.
