Removing characters from a field

[Lancaster]

How can I say in Visual Basic to remove all "*" from a
desired field. The "*" being literal not a wild card.

For example:

LastName="*SMITH" and I want it to change the value
to "SMITH"

OR LastName="***SMITH and I want the value to be "SMITH"

You can use the Replace function to replace "*" with "" (the empty string).
