Jacky,
This will work in all versions of Access.
Copy and Paste the following function into a Module.
Function RemoveChar(FieldIn As String) As String
Dim intX As Integer
Dim intY As Integer
intY = 1
Dim NewString As String
intX = InStr(1, FieldIn, "-")
Do While intX <> 0
NewString = NewString & Mid(FieldIn, intY, intX - intY)
intY = intX + 1
intX = InStr(intY, FieldIn, "-")
Loop
NewString = NewString & Mid(FieldIn, intY, Len(FieldIn) - intY + 1)
RemoveChar = NewString
End Function
======
You can call it from a query:
NoHyphens:RemoveChar([ItemName])

Since you haven't mentioned which version of Access you're using, I'll
assume the latest.
NoHyphens:Replace([ItemName],"-","")
