There's nothing built into Access to do this that I'm aware of.

To do it manually, use the Replace statement multiple times.

strText = Replace(strText, ".", "")
strText = Replace(strText, ", ", "")
strText = Replace(strText, ":", "")

etc.

or

strText = Replace(Replace(Replace(strText, ".", ""), ",", ""), ":", "")

Is there a way to Remove all punctuation from a text string, without
identifying each type of punctuation, if not what is the best way to do it
with the text as a variable.

Thanks John
