VB - Search for Percent Sign?

Using ID2 and VB, I'm trying to search for %P in a text frame and replace it with %PA, but when I run the script it ignores the text I'm looking for.

Here's the script:

myJump = "%" & mySection (where mySection is previously defined)

mycount = mypub.TextFrames.Count

For mybase = 1 To mycount

mypub.TextFrames.Item(mybase).Search "%P", True, False, myJump

Next mybase

Do I need to call the % sign something else, in order to search for a string with a % sign in it?

Thanks,

~j~
