Calling Procedures

[colm.leavy]

I read strings from a file. These strings are procedure names.
How do I get VB6 to call the function that is represented by the string I just read from the file?
Any ideas appreciated.

I had a problem similar to this and I had the following solution:

1)
Make your little script language and with a big Select Case switch trough your functions.
(That's what I finally did)

2)
Make a dll in C and then use the API function to execute a function from a dll ;)

Thanks but C is out of the question and I was really hoping to avoid the case statement, it's not really dynamic and means that the code has to be added to if you want to expand.

I appreciate the response.

check out the VB 6 function CallByName
Haven't used it, but maybe it does the trick for you.
