Select strtran(dam1," ","") from stnhorse into cursor tempord readwrite
Returns a field with all the spaces removed from the dam's name. (ie, All Right Hanover becomes AllRightHanover) I can't seem to get the right syntax to remove apostrophes in the same pass? Is it possible? My work around is to run the result to a readwrite cursor and then strtran the field for each item I want to remove. Basically I'm trying to simply remove everything but legitimate alphabetic characters. James E. Harvey Corresponding Officer/M.I.S.
