not sure what you're trying to do, but maybe this will help

Sub test()
Dim mem(3) As String
Dim counter As Long

Do While counter <= 2
MsgBox "Name = " & mem(counter) & counter
counter = counter + 1
Loop
End Sub

I've specified
Dim mem1, mem2, mem3
counter = 1

and I want to run through a loop such as
Do while counter <= 3
Msgbox "Name = " & mem & counter
counter = counter + 1
Loop

to show 3 Msgboxes, but VB doesn't like "mem & counter".

How do I express "mem & counter please?
Also, what do you actually call things like mem1, mem2? Are they simply
called dimensions or..........
