How to Fix Records Where Users Typed Two Spaces After a Period in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I'm going to teach you how to fix records where users typed in two spaces after a period. We'll use an Update Query and the Replace function.

Ethan from Romeoville, Illinois (a Platinum Member) asks: I keep my product database in Microsoft Access and with the help of your lessons I print out my catalog directly from the database. Unfortunately a lot of my data entry people are old school and have typed two spaces after a period in a lot of the different fields. Is there any way that I can go through and edit that automatically without having to manually find and replace everything? And I know it's going to happen in the future again because I've yelled at these guys a million times so an automated solution would be nice.

Silver members and up get access to an Extended Cut of this video. Members will learn a completely automated one button click solution where we will count the number of records that need to be fixed and inside a loop fix them, count again, rinse and repeat.
