This macros just received works but does not seem to stop
the looping until it returs the error "MS Visual Basic
400".
I would appreciate a bit of tweaking.

i = 1
Do
Target = Range("D" & i)
TargetLength = Len(Target)
CharLeft = Left(Target, 1)
CharRight = Right(Target, 1)

If CharLeft = ";" Then Target = Right(Target, Len
(Target) - 1)
If CharRight = ";" Then Target = Left(Target, Len
(Target) - 1)

Range("D" & i) = Target
i = i + 1
Loop

JA,

Add
If IsEmpty(Range("D" & i)) = True Then Exit Do
after the
i=i+1
This checks for empty cells. There are quite a few of different
Is.....functions that may suit you better
depending upon your cell contents.
Do you need to check across your columns and change the D to an E
etc....
