Default How to delete a question mark throughout database

The last answer for my 18,000 record database worked wonders. Now the
problem is that throughout the database, the dataentry person /
transcriber inserted the character '?' most anywhere in the cell where
they were unsure of what they were transcribing. The format should have
been 'lastname, firstname.' Instead throughout I have found 'lastname?,
firstname?' What I would like is for a macro to locate those random ?s
and ask me if I want it deleted and hit enter to make it go away. Any
thoughts? Also, doing a search for the ?s doesn't work since this works
as a wildcard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TJ
