Default Making "examp le" become "examp_le" in a string

Is there and easy way to find and replace the " " in the example above to
"_"? . If not I will have to loop throught each character in the string
using the left and right functions and then recompile the string.

See if your version of Excel supports the Replace VBA function. I think it was
introduced in v 2000. If it does, I would use that instead.
