>Thank you for your prompt reply, but if I have a combination of “;” and a space before or after it the command STRTRAN(lstring,” “,”;”) will result in “;;”

The following will add a priority list to the code:

lcEmail=...
lcEmail=STRTRAN(lcEmail,'; ',';')
lcEmail=STRTRAN(lcEmail,', ',';')
lcEmail=STRTRAN(lcEmail,',',';')
lcEmail=STRTRAN(lcEmail,' ',';')

Basically, if there is no validation in what the user enters, you will end up with all types of validation. But, at least, the following will resolve the issues you brought.
