IsEmpty(), while it seems to work for really empty cells, is meant to
determine if a variable has been initialized.

You may be better off testing as follows if you want cells with formulas
that return null strings to be considered empty:

?Cells(1, 1) = ""
False

Occasionally when I use IsEmpty to see if a cell contains data like
"IsEmpty(Cells(x,y))" it returns "False" when there is nothing there.
I've
tested the cell with Len(Cells(x,y)) and it returns 0. Does anyone know
why
this happens or how to get around it?
Thanks,
