Thanks to Mariusz S.
The CompessSpaces function loops and, as long as the string contains two consecutive separator characters, it replaces two instances of the character with one instance.

Private Function CompressSpaces(ByVal s As String, Optional _
ByVal sep As String = " ") As String
s = Trim(s)
'function logic: as long as there are occurences of
' next-to-each-other separators in any number (at least
' two)
'then replace it with one occurence of such a sep
'so the function sort of contracts input string
' gradually
Do While InStr(s, sep & sep) > 0
s = Replace(s, sep & sep, sep)
Loop
CompressSpaces = s
End Function
