    Column comparison in same Table with exception

    Hi All


    I needs to compare two column values in same table in access. But should ignore few characters like space comma, dot

    Following should tally



    'ABcd f' = 'AbCDf'
    'xyz ..' = 'xy z'


    Cheers

    How many different characters will there be that need to be ignored?

    Replace(Replace(Replace([fieldname], " ", ""), ".", ""), ",", "")
