Thanks for the suggestion. Consistently evaluates to 0 when applied to
string variables containing VB constant names.

Greetings!

Example: the value of vbOkay within the VBE is 6. {i = vbOkay} yields i
= 6.

Would like a construct where {sMyString = "vbOkay" : i =
UnknownFunction(sMyString)} yields i = 6

TIA!
George
