Combine data from two cells into one cell with VBA

Tags: cells, two
I am importing a text file from another application (AutoCAD) into three columns in Excel.  Since the text file is overwritten each time it is used by AutoCAD, the number of rows varies in Excel with each use.  Anyway, I'm having no problem importing the data, but what I need to do next is merge the first two columns (A and B), which are called 'Code' and 'Size' into column A (Code) and then delete column B (Size).

Before:

Code          Size     Qty
ACBARB       2         10
ACBUER       4         12
PITAED        3         10

Result:

Code               Qty
ACBARB 2         10
ACBUER 4         12
PITAED 3          10

There is a space required between the Code and Size after the merge, as I will be exporting this information into an established Access database.  Please let me know if there is additional info I need to supply.

Thank you,
Tim Dixon

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not?
