What code do I use to test a cell for its content? I want to know if the
cell is empty or contains text or values. Is "" produced by a formula
the same as Blank or empty?
Thanks!!

Nope, a cell that contains a formula that returns "" isn't empty--it has that
formula in it:

You can check:

With ActiveSheet

.Range("a1").Formula = "="""""
'then try
'.range("a1").clearcontents

MsgBox IsEmpty(.Range("a1")) & vbLf & _
CBool(.Range("a1").Value = "") & vbLf & _
CBool(Trim(.Range("a1").Value = ""))
End With

And just to muddy the waters...A cell that had a formula that returned "" and
was converted to values isn't empty, either!
