assigning the result of a query to a declared variable in VBA code

The result of a query is a complete recordset.

You can assign all the fields and records of the query to a Recordset
variable like this:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = dbEngine(0)(0).OpenRecordset("Query1")

If you just wanted to assign a single value (one field from one record), you
could use DLookup(). Details in:

If you wanted to achieve the same functionality as DLookup() using a SQL
statement, this article explains how to do that:
