Default Need Help With String Concatenation

I am trying to create a simple part number configurator using an Excel
spreadsheet. *(I am using Excel 2007)

* *Cell B3 is where the user enters the base part number (i.e. the code
* *assigned to the base part without any add-on components). *That will
* *always have to be entered manually by the user.
* *Cells D2 - AC2 have codes that specify all the add-on components that
* *could be assembled with the base part.
* *Cells D3 - AC3 is where the user inserts an "X" and selects which
* *add-on component (options) will be added to the base part.
* *Cell AD3 would be a concatenated string composed by the base part
* *number (cell B3), a dash (-), and the codes of any of the add-ons
* *shown in cells D2-AC2 and selected with an "X" in cells D3-AC3, each
* *one separated by a forward slash (/). *This would be the complete
* *part number of the assembled product.

For instance:
* Cell B3 shows "C6520" as the base part number. *(This will always have
* to be inserted manually.)
* Cells D2-H2 have codes such as "AG", "AI", "AR", "BE", "BL". *(Note:
* I am only showing the first five options instead of the full 26!)
* Cells D3, F3, and H3 have an "X" in their cell.
* The part number string in cell AD3 would be: *C6520-AG/AR/BL

I really would prefer an Excel formula rather than a macro...

Thanks.

How about a user defined function, rather than a macro? xt

I am willing to give it a try but I don't know how to create a
user-defined function. So, if you are willing to post instructions and
code I am all hears... :-)
Thanks.
