doing a little testing im seeing the same error
when i use "foo's" as input.

  msxml3.dll error '80004005' 
  Expected token 'eof' found 'NAME'. 'foo'-->s<--' 

<td>
  <xsl:variable name="myNewString"/>
  <xsl:variable name="q">'</xsl:variable>

  
  <xsl:call-template name="SubstringReplace">
    <xsl:with-param name="stringIn" select="$Description" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="substringIn">$q</xsl:with-param>
    <xsl:with-param name="substringOut">\'</xsl:with-param>
  </xsl:call-template>
								
  <xsl:value-of select="$myNewString" /> 
  <input name="txtDescription" size="60" value=""/>
</td>


i did change the substringIn to "1" and substringOut
to "2" and it did manage to make mulitple replacements
when i had a string like "1111". so that part works.
