    regular expression in vba is not working

    Hey all,

    I have this VBA:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Despite having this in a cell:
    ROGELIO P DIAZ &W CLUADIA


    It still alerts "false", even though that name matches the expression. It should be alerting "true". There is no space after CLUADIA and there are no double spaces anywhere. Not sure what problem is.

    Thanks for response
