I am trying to allow the user to be able to create or edit formulas used in a program. The way I have it set up is that there are different command buttons that have different variables that are used as well as buttons for each # 0-9 and + - / * and ( and ) so they build a formula and it shows it in the textbox. The thing is I am trying to test the formula but it just shows it as text. Or it will just put a 0 if I use Val(TestFormula.text) How can I turn the Textbox text into a formula. So this TestVal = “(Area + 2000)/2” turns to TestVal= (Area + 2000/2)
