Default Evaluating a DDE formula created by strings

Try these amendments:

command = App&"|"&Topic&"!'"&Field&"'"
GetValue = Evaluate(command)

Hope this helps.

Function GetValue(App as String, Topic as String, Field as String) As

Dim command as String

command *= "="&App&"|"&Topic&"!'"&Field&"'"

GetValue = command

End Function

So then I type in Excel, =GetValue(App,Topic,A1)

And great! The Cell showed =APP|TOPIC!'(Value of cell A1)'

However, how can I get Excel to evaulate the formula, instead of
showing the formula as a string?
