Default Replace wildcards with a space

I have a text field with all values containing an asterisk. The asterisk can
be located anywhere within the contents. I am trying to replace the asterisk
with a space. I will then use TRIM to remove any spaces at the beginning of
the text.

I have been unable to get an update query to work. When my criteria is like
"~[*}", Access says that 0 rows will be updated. When the criteria is[*],
I am asked to enter a parameter value.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - bkh
