I'm new to this, and I'm not sure what the correct terms are for what I'm trying to do, but here goes:

I'm using the Substitute function to remove some punctuation from a field. How do I string the Substitute functions together so that all punctuation can be removed in one calculation? Below is an example of what I'm trying to do...the calculation doesn't work and I don't know the proper way of combining the statements. Thanks!

Substitute(title, ",", "") and Substitute(title, ".", "") and Substitute (title, "_", "")

Off of the top of my head, what you want to do is to gang the Substitute Function something like this.

Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(Substitute(title, "," , ""),

"." , ""),

"_" , ""),

";" , ""),

":" , "")
