August 31, 200619 yr A bunch of records got updated with false data that needs removed. The data is an address and is kept in a notes field. The data was inserted with an external script via ODBC and uses chr(13) for cairrage returns to format the address: Name Street 1 City, ST 00000 (000)555-3432 I simply need to remove this. Is a Find/Replace the best way to do this? And if so, can I use chr(13) within that the same way I did in the script that inserts the data? So my Find would be Namechr(13)Street 1chr(13)City, ST 00000chr(13)(000)555-3432 Replace would be blank. Will that work?

August 31, 200619 yr First - back up the file as is - then can create use the "Substitite" function to replace "chr(13)" with "¶" Substitute ( table:fieldname ; "chr(13)";"¶") this will probably add an extra carriage return at the end but you can get rid of that later.
