Dirk,

Try this. It allows the user to select the range with the mouse

Set rng = Application.Inputbox("Please select the mouse", Type:=8)
For Each cell in rng
cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value)
Next cell

Dear all

I want to delete blanks at the end over a range of strings. I wrote the
following macro but I am not sure about the right usage of rng. help
would be appreciated.

Sub delblanks()
Dim count As Integer, rng As range
rng = InputBox("Please type the range")
count = 0
range(rng).Select
Do While Right(rng, 1) = " "
count = count + 1
rng = Left(rng, Len(rng) - 1)
Loop
MsgBox ("there were " + count + " changes made")
End Sub

Dirk
