Don
Thank you for the information. I think I will follow your suggestion, to
do the editing in Editor.

Victor - I believe that you can do it but with some level of difficulty.
If
given a choice I'd always export the data into WPEditor and accomplish
the
search and replace function there. If doing it within DP it would seem
to me
that you have to locate & isolate the string you're looking to replace
and
by virtue of finding it locate the string preceeding it and following it,
then substring the three components back together replacing the middle
component as needed.

I would like to know whether it is possible to search and replace in a
report according to the following parameters:
1. Search for a particular combination of characters within a field and
2. then replace those characters only (but leave the other text in the
field untouched).
I know how to do 1. (using the contain function), but cannot work out
how
to do 2.
Is it (easily) possible with DataPerfect?
