Default Substitute

I have an excel file that uses VBA to convert the information in
various other files into HTML. It works fine, including the following
lines which convert "&" symbols to their html form:

For j = 8 To lastrow
rankList = rankList & WorksheetFunction.Substitute(shRanks.Cells
(j, i).Text, " & ", " &amp; ") & "<br /"
Next j

However, when I try to use the same technique to avoid surplus
instances of "</p" tags by using the following code:


traveller(colNo) = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(traveller(colNo), "</
p</p", "</p")

it gives me the following error: Run-time error '1004' Unable to get
the Substitute property of the WorksheetFunction class.


I've tried doing this in various other ways, but it always produces
the same error. What am I doing wrong?
