Default Spaces and Data Validation

I put VBE code in for my data validation, example is below (it uses range
names). However, if the user enters a response manually (without using the
drop down menu), the code doesn't reject extra spaces entered. So when I
really need "Yes" for example, it takes "Yes " or " Yes". Am I doing
something wrong in my code? If so, how can I fix this so that the user
cannot add extra spaces (by adding the Application.Trim somewhere)? I have a
large workbook with multiple areas affected, that is almost in its last
stages of finalization (hopefully), so am praying this is a relatively easy
thing to fix. Thanks for any help....Paige

Example is:
With Range("PM1_1,PM3_1,PM4_1,PM5_1,PM6_1").Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="Yes,No"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = "Invalid entry; please use the drop-down menu to select
a response."
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
