Default Find and Replace Dates in VBA

Give this a try:

Sub ladym()
Set rr = Nothing
For Each r In Selection
If r.Text = "00/01/1900" Then
If rr Is Nothing Then
Set rr = r
Else
Set rr = Union(rr, r)
End If
End If
Next
If rr Is Nothing Then
Else
rr.Clear
End If
End Sub

If I do CRTL+ H and type in 00/01/1900 and set it to replace with nothing, it
works fine. However, when I insert the following code into my VBA project,
nothing happens. I took it straight from the good old Macro recorder!

Cells.Replace What:="00/01/1900", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False

Removing the quotes automatically changed it to this, with the same result:
Cells.Replace What:=0 / 1 / 1900, Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False

What have I done wrong, or what do I need to? I know this is basically zero
in date format but I don't want to replace everything that is 0, just those
looking like a date

Many thanks for your help.
