You don't need to perform a select itself..
SELECT REPLACE('date','/','-')
I echo what Stephen said - if you are storing dates as text consider

Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] OT SQL
I want to do something like ...
SELECT date
FROM tblDate
REPLACE (date,'\','-')
but that doesn't work .....
Some of the records have \ and I want -
Any ideas. I can't use cf as the database is in Crystal Reports and I just
need to update the data for a report. (Another hat I sometimes wear)
Regards - Paul
