Default Finding unprintable characters in data

First do a backup of the database just in case things go wrong.

UPDATE YourTable
SET YourTable.YourField
= Replace([YourTable]![YourField],Chr(13)," ");

The above will put a space in place of the Chr(13).

Also Chr(10) and Chr(13) often work together. You may have to find both.

I imported data which contained cr/lf or char(13). How do I find these
characters and strip them out?
