Hi,

I have imported a text-file into a table in the database. Now I find that there are many bad things in some fields, for instance there is a ? instead of the value 0.
Can anyone give me a good example on a procedure that loops through a table and if found a ? in some fields, replace it with a 0.? Thanks in advance.

Roland S
