[AccessD] How to see what a field contains with Access 2007

Could you run the Asc function on each character in the field and see what
they are?

Subject: [AccessD] How to see what a field contains with Access 2007

All,

We have an Access 2007 application that reads data from a Firebird database
via ODBC.

There is a field that appears to be spaces but it is not spaces.  We did a
"trim" and it went from 10 bytes to 2.

We have tested for spaces and it appears that the two bytes are something
other than spaces.

We would like to see what is in these two bytes.

In a prior life (IBM Mainframe) we had utilities to "view in Hex".

Is there anything like this for Access?

Thanks,
Brad
