Default Where am I going wrong? (losing the variable because of need for quotation marks)

Hi guys,

Nice to be back after many years in the wilderness:)


I have a sub which places this formula in a cell:

=BDH("stVar","PX Last","1/1/1900",blptoday())

stVar is a variable taken from a column of tickers in another sheet stepping
through them one at a time.

the issue I have is that the formula has to appear as above with the
quatation marks and as soon as I start enclosing quatation marks in
quotation marks the code gets totally confused (understandably). Does anyone
know what to do in such circumstances, i am sure there is a well known
workaround but I have been away from programming for a number of years now
and am rather rusty, so any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Mark
