Trim()
The code on page 28 will not
remove any additional spacing. A better example of the code, which will
remove any additional spacing and not allow empty strings, is:
Dim Greeting
Dim UserName
Dim TryAgain
Do
TryAgain = "No"
UserName = InputBox("Please enter your name:")
UserName = Trim(UserName)
If UserName = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter your name."
TryAgain = "Yes"
Else
Greeting = "Hello, " & UserName & ", it's a pleasure to meet you."
End If
Loop While TryAgain = "Yes"
MsgBox Greeting
