I am importing data and can't even begin to nail own all of the codes for the various characters. I want to keep a-z and 0-9 and "-" but, everything else must go.
Also, this is for an excel macro.
Thanks all.

jindon,
That is some nice code, can you explain how the replace function does all the bad characters without looping? Obviously much faster than my solution.
Thanks,
Edit: Disregard, I did some web searching on VBScript RegExp Object and understand it now.
