converting a list of fax numbers to Email

I am pretty new to MS Access but i know a lot of VB and other languages. I have a list of Fax numbers that we cant use because we use efax.com were I woudl have to email the fax message. I was wondering if there is an easy way to change all the Fax numbers over this format -> fax#@faxsend.com. Our fax numbers are in the form +1 (555) 555-5555, so i would need to convert that to just 15555555555.

Thanks

use the msaccess Replace function, to replace a character with an empty string, and nest it 5 times:

Code:

replace(
 replace(
  replace(
   replace(
    replace(faxno,'+','')
          ,'(','')
         ,')','')
        ,'-','')
       ,' ','')
