Any way around this??

help!

What is wrong with your result?

If D3 contains a string which contains %20 then your corrected formula will
substitute one double quote for the %20.

What, exactly, is in D3?
What, exactly do you want for a result?

In Excel, when you are quoting quotes, you must double the interior quotes.
