Default Change event fails to work

In the change event handler I call a simple function that removes unwanted

I'm using Excel 2000 and this fails to work. Any reason why?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = CheckString(Target.Value)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Thanks.

Assuming that there is no error in your CheckString function, I would guess
that in the debugging process you stopped the macro from running with
Application.EnableEvents still = False.

It's handy to have a sub to re-enable the events for this scenario.

Sub foo()
Application.EnableEvents=True
end sub
