There's the API call to UrlUnescape:

And also its partner UrlEscape.

Is there a better way to unescape a URL? For now I'm getting by with
this but I'd like something more generic.

Thanks.

Function unescape(s As String)
s = Application.Substitute(s, "%20", " ")
s = Application.Substitute(s, "%3A", ":")
s = Application.Substitute(s, "%5C", "\")
unescape = s
End Function
