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.
