VS 2008 Use The Value Of One Variable To Call Another Variable Of The Same Name?
Feb 7, 2011I am trying to use the value of one variable to call another variable of the same name.I have 2 variable one called VAR1 and VAR2.
The variable VAR1 has a value of "VAR2"
The variable VAR2 has a value of "HELP"
I want to be able to get the value VAR2 from the variable VAR1 I have defined the value of VAR2 early in the code and now I want to call that value by using the value of VAR1.The reason I am doing it this way as I have a list of 50 variables that are pulled from one system. Each of these variables have the same name as the columns of a spreadsheet. The total number of Variable stay the same but the total column headers may vary each time. I need to loop through each of the column headers match them with the variable names and add the data to the spreadsheet.
VAR1 = "VAR2"
VAR2 = "HELP"
i =1
[code]....
This is the tricky bit...if the value of the cell(1,i) = "VAR2" How do I get it to display the value of the variable of the same name In this case how will I get it to display "HELP" when I only have from the VAR1 value "VAR2" I know my code will bring back the value as a string but I want it to bring back that string as a variable and display the value of that variable?

VS 2008 Call .exe From VBA Using A Variable
Apr 7, 2010I have created a project using VB.Net(VS2008) and created the exe file. I have another project in VBA (Excel 2003). The project basically IC-Testing based. So according to the device type the Excel workbook name varies. For example I have AAAA.xls, BBBB.xls, CCCC.xls. When I open AAAA.xls, I want to call the .exe (which is developed in VB.Net) with the variable "AAAA". i.e when the exe program runs, it knows which Excel is opened or from which Excel the .exe is called. now I am using Shell retval=Shell("d:Monitor.exe",1). Using this the exe is called and running fine. But the Monitor.exe doesn't know which Excel called it, whether it is AAAA.xls, BBBB.xls or CCCC.xls.
