   Re: Query to find just alpha chars?

   Using the Delete Query (as Steve has told you) is the best way to go.   
      
   However... be very careful...  These items (with the Alpha characters) may   
   be linked to items in other tables.  Once you delete them, the link is   
   broken and their children will be lost.  (still exist, but not linked to   
   their parent item).   
      
   Unless you are absolutely "sure" that these items are NOT linked to other   
   items in other tables... I wouldn't simply delete them...   
      
   But if you do, I would recommend that you immediately rename the "Answer.db"   
   table which will be located in your Private directory to some other name...   
   such as "save.db"  or something....  You may discover that you'll need to   
   add them back to their original table.
