Roger,
Thank you for your help, i have had a look at David McRithcie's site but
couldnt find anything, to be honest i dont really know what im looking for.
Any further help would be most helpful.
Thanks again
Steve

Hi Steve
No, that's not the problem. It may be that there are some hidden unprintable
characters within the data.
I have got to go out right now so I don't have time o look up the solution
for you, but I'm pretty sure David McRithcie has some code on his site to
"clean up" data.

What formula are you using?
If I enter "roger govier" in cell A1 (without quotes) then in cell B1
=PROPER(A1)
returns Roger Govier
