Default Regex as replace function

I am using Regular Expressions to for a replace function. I could not get
the following to work below so I changed the last line by using a Substitute
function from Excel. Why isn't the line: 'tempstring =
objRegExp.Replace(SeriesAddress, Match(0).Value) working?



Public Function RegReplace(Pattern As String, SeriesAddress As String) As
String
'Set Reference To Microsoft Scripiting Runtime
Dim objRegExp As Object
Dim Match
Dim tempstring As String

Set objRegExp = CreateObject("Vbscript.RegExp")

objRegExp.IgnoreCase = IgnoreCase
objRegExp.MultiLine = MultiLine
objRegExp.Pattern = Pattern

Set Match = objRegExp.Execute(SeriesAddress)

'tempstring = objRegExp.Replace(SeriesAddress, Match(0).Value)

tempstring = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(SeriesAddress, SeriesAddress,
Match(0).Value)

RegReplace = tempstring

End Function

Thanks
