Evaluating an expression...
 

I have a function with parameters pay99,pay00,pay01,pay02, etc., and in
my code I have declared a variable named cParam.

If cParam equals the string "pay02", what function or expression do I
use on cParam to get the value of parameter pay02?

Many thanks.

A large case statement:)

No but seriously, if you have a function that has a whole slew of
parameters of the same type/meaning, you need a paramarray, check XL
help to see how that works.

From there you can say

Myval = PrmPay(99) to get the 99th parameter. Besides this advantage,
it also keeps the parameters optional. If you only need 88 that would
work without any problem.

I don't believe there is an arglist type functionality as in C, so I believe
you would have to hard code a case statement

Select Case cParam
Case "pay99"
s = pay99
Case "pay00"
s = pay00
Case "pay01"
s = pay01
Case "pay02"
s= pay02
Case Else
s = ""
End Select

Another approach would be to use a paramarray and not define you arguments.

Function MyFunction(ParamArray v())
cParem = 2
MyFunction = v(cParem - 1)
End Function

Sub Tester1()
MsgBox MyFunction("A", "B", "C", "D")
End Sub


the message box returns B
