    Indirect referencing (Resolved)

    Hi,

    In some DOS languages we had a facility known as "Macro Substitution", whereby you could directly access the object named in a variable. e.g.

    strVar contained the string "File1"

    Assuming the Macro Substitution reference is "&" you could then access File1 by refering to it as

    &strVar

    I know that you can access controls in VB.NET in a similar way by using Collections, but can you do something similar with variables?

    The more I learn about VB.NET the more I like dBaseIII Plus
