Replacing names with variables??? Help, please!!

I'm looking for a way to call a procedure(sub or function) using a variable. I want to be able to:

Dim strFunctionName as String

strFunctionName = "Exit" (where Exit is the name of the sub)
Call strFunctionName


or something to this effect

Does anyone know if this is possible?
FoxPro has macro substitution that allows this sort of thing using the ampersand(&), but I don't know about VB.

If you have VB6 yo can do

Code:

---

Dim strFunctionName As String

strFunctionName = "SomeOtherSub"
CallByName Me, strFunctionName, VbMethod

strFunctionName = "ExitPgm"
CallByName Me, strFunctionName, VbMethod

---

If you don't have VB6 the best you can do is to create a Case statement with a case for each procedure you want to call.

Code:

---

Select Case strFunctionName
    Case "SomeOtherSub"
        SomeOtherSub
    Case "ExitPgm"
        ExitPgm
    Case Else
        MsgBox "Unrecognized procedure name"
End Select
