Invalid procedure call or argument: 'InStr'

Ran Windows update tonight. Since then I get this error:

This is line 44:

pos2=InStr(pos1,txt,"<span class")

Any ideas?

"pos1" is either zero, negative or, possibly, beyond the end of the string.

If pos1 > 0 Then
pos2=InStr(pos1,txt,"<span class")
Else
' Oops
End If
