I am attempting to import a comma delimited file into MS Access. I have ticked the delimited & comma boxes where appropriate when importing the file. However in the source file there are fields where there is a comma inbetween some of the words in the fields. How can I write a query to remove the comma (,)inbetween words within a field?
 
Could you poassilby use a different delimiter?
Also use a text qualifier. I'm not sure but if text qualifier is quotes then any commas contained within should be ignored.
