I think you are going to have to run X thru a Select Case statement.

Select Case True
Case Instr(1, X, "Test",vbTextCompare) 0 Then
Call MyToolsObject.Test
Case Instr(1, X, "Sludge",vbTextCompare) 0 Then
Call MyToolsObject.Sludge
End Select

Your chances of getting something consistently useful from user input may be pretty slim.
You are probably going to have to validate it against an array of correct/acceptable answers.

Is there a way to obtain, via Inputbox, to run the code line below:
"MyToolsObject.Test"
X = "MyToolsObject." & Application.InputBox("VB.NET File to test: ", "ENTER PROCEDURE NAME")
Assume: X = "MyToolsObject.Test "
Effectively, how can I "Execute" X as if it were the codeline below?

Sub DecodeRunDLL()'
Dim MyToolsObject As ToolsNET.Tools
Set MyToolsObject = New ToolsNET.Tools
MyToolsObject.Test ' <<<<< *********** How Execute "X"
Set MyToolsObject = Nothing
End Sub
