I'm looking for a macro that could take care of this. A search of the forum yeilded several thoughts, but none of them are sticking.

I have a sheet with part numbers, most are numeric, some are alphanumeric and a few are alphanumeric with spaces. On a seperate sheet I can print out inventory cards with barcodes. The user types in the part number and a barcoded card is produced. The only problem is with the spaces. The spaces will always, so far, occur in spots 4 and 5 (ex. 00w 123456). The barcode font doen't regognize a space so it needs to be replaced by a =. So what I was hoping is for a macro that replaces the " " in the part number with a "==". Ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
