Default With a Function, how can I get rid of formating codes like <di

Can you show a real example of these & items in use so I can see what
locations they have to be accounted for at.

The semi-colon is a typo from a html code not showing up here. The are &
n b
s p; and & a m p; (without spaces).

"& n b s p ; and & a m p ;"

Thanks, Kevin

the
last space from two consecutive spaces for that semi-colon, which I
assumed
was a typo.

I have a refreshable spreadsheet with data imported from Access. When
the
data imports, I get Access formatting codes like <div, &nbsp and font
codes
(see below). I doing want the end user to have to do a search &

blank, even with a macro. It only happens with memo/comment fields
coming
from Access.

<div<font face=Arial size=2 color="#006666"PBA data. (ALL VERSIONS
INCLUDING MONTANA)</font</div <div </div

In an adjacent cell I want to use a function(s) to format the new cell
to
look like this = PBA data. ;(ALL VERSIONS INCLUDING MONTANA)

Is that semi-colon a typo? I assumed it was in my response but, if
not,
what
are the rules for its insertion?
