First let me apologize for reposting this question. I didn't get any help
yesterday and am hoping a fresh set of eyes will do the trick. I have a large number of Constants defined sequentially as such : Public Const BM1Left As Single = 10.2 Public Const BM2Left As Single = 18.7 Public Const BM3Left As Single = 26.4 and so on... There are enough of these that I would prefer not to use an IF statement or a Select Case construction to access the desired const. I would be great to be able to access the particular constant by concatenating or otherwise "constructing" the name such as in the code below: Sub Test(index as integer) Dim Left As Single Dim myString As String myString = "BM" & index & "Left" Left = Evaluate(myString) End Sub I get a "type mismatch" with the above code because myString is a string and Left is a Single. I have searched the discussion groups for 2 days now and tried every variation I can think of unsuccessfully. Is there a way to get the variable Left to recognize the name of the Const represented by the string rather than the just the string itself? I know that named ranges on a worksheet and buttons on a user form can be evaluated in a similar manner, but I can not figure out how to do it in this case. Thanks for any help you can give me. |
