SED - /10g

I,m trying to delete the 10th and onwards occurrence of "," on each line, to remove embedded commas in an address field in csv files.

I have tried sed 's/,/ /10g' file > newfile, but this doesn't work (10 without the g removes the 10th occurrence. 10g is listed on some sites as an option.

I am using Solaris 2.5(?), and have tried with different shells.

Greatful for any help
