No wonder, because 3/4 doesn't exist in ASCII. This is what my character table program says about this character: UTF-8: 0xC2 0xBE UTF-16: 0x00BE C-Oktal terminiertes UTF-8: \302\276 Dezimale XML-Entität: ¾ So you should look for a string consisting of C2 and BE, that is chr$(194) and chr$(190) as we can presume this is UTF-8. Try this: xStr = chr$(194) & chr$(190) wx = Replace(wx, xStr, ".75") Does this run? Or even wx = Replace(wx, chr$(194) & chr$(190), ".75") should work. At least if I'm right, but I never tried this.
