Default How do you find and replace unwanted symbols in text cells?

i AM IMPORTING EXCEL DATA TO ACCESS. ONE PARTICULAR SPREADSHEET HAS INVERTED
? SYMBOL (UNICODE HEX 00BF) IN A TEXT CELL. ACCESS WILL NOT IMPORT. I NEED
TO ELIMINATE THE SYMBOL AND REPLACE IT WITH A DASH. I'VE ATTEMPTED USING THE
FIND AND REPLACE FEATURE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. MANUAL EDIT IS NOT
POSSIBLE SINCE IT IS A VERY LARGE FILE. ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANKS.
