Default len limit of 255 of function. any workaround?

I am getting a VALUE error when I run this function and the input string is
longer than 255.
Basicaly, I am wanting to strip out all control characters.

Is there a better way to do that?
TIA,
Mc



Public Function CleanKey(vData As String) As String
Dim nChar As Long
Dim sChar As String * 1
Dim nCharCode As Long
Dim sNewData As String


For nChar = 1 To Len(vData)
sChar = Mid$(vData, nChar, 1)
nCharCode = Asc(sChar)
If nCharCode <= Asc("~") And nCharCode = Asc(" ") _
Then sNewData = sNewData & sChar
Next nChar
CleanKey = sNewData
End Function
