Default Replacing the contents of a variable as the name of an array

Hello,

Somehow my previous answer and msg was lost, that's why I post this again.

I want to write some universal code to process arrays. The number of arrays
can change per project. So I count them and put the figure in a variable.
Using a counter I want to repeat an action on each of the arrays by creating
the name of the array and process it. But substituting the variable to use
it as the name of the array doesn't work. The question is how I can get the
value in the variable to work as a NAME for the array.

Sub WorkWithArray()

Dim Arr1 As Variant
Dim Arr2 As Variant
Dim strArrName
Dim strArrNr
Dim intArrCount

' Fill two arrays
Arr1 = Array("A", "B")
Arr2 = Array("C", "D")
' Fill counters and create the first name for the array
strArrNr = 1
intArrCount = 2
strArrName = "Arr" & Nr ' Nr = 1, so strArrName = "Arr1"

' Repeat doing something with each of the arrays
For intArrNr = 1 To intArrCount
Msgbox strArrName(1) ' But THIS doesn't work. How do I get
' the CONTENT in the
variable work as the Array-designation
' so that it says or
acts like
' Msgbox Arr1(1)

strArrNr = strArrNr + 1
strArrName = "Arr" & Nr
Next

End sub
