    Re: Trim not working

    Many thanks, but had tried that with a little, but not complete luck eg, if
    the user string was:
    sgb test 1 (ie loads of spaces) then
    Application.Trim seems to result in:
    sgb test 1 (ie one space between each element of the original string)
    Is that the intended result?

    For my purposes, I'm looking to reduce the user's data string to one
    containing no 'spaces' whatsoever.

    Regards.
