Each month I receive an excel spreadsheet and one of the columns has
social
security numbers with the dashes. I have to import it into Access
without the
dashes, how can I remove the dashes from the social security numbers in
Excel
- without doing it by hand ? Is there a way to use format cells to
clear the
dashes ?

Thanks
