You could find the whole string including the html tags then pull out the substring between the tags using Mid.
ie, if you wanted to strip the <b></b> tags from the beginning and end of a string just go Mid(myString, 4, (Len(myString)-4)) I think that would work but there is probably a more elegant solution.
