I have some code a bit like this:

Dim string1 as string
string1 = "some text"

Dim tempstr as string
tempstr = Replace(string1,"xt","ab")

string1 = tempstr


Now I believe string1 should be "some teab", but in fact it is unchanged.
What can be wrong?
I must add, that I haven't touched vb for more than 10 years, so I'm feeling my way into the syntax again...
