Every time I think I've got the concepts and syntax for Names in VBA
straight I discover
something I don't know how to do. The current problem is exemplified below:
Private Sub TheButton_Click()
Dim nIn As Integer, nOut As Integer
nIn = [mixer1!nInputs] ' This works... nIn is 6
Dim str As String
str = ActiveSheet.name & "nInputs" ' this forms "mixer1!nInputs"
nIn = [str] ' Fails, obviously because str is a string.
MsgBox (nIn)
End Sub
nInputs has been defined as a Name local to Worksheet mixer1, and the cell
which it RefersTo has the
integer 6 in it. Thus [mixer1!nInputs] gives, as it should, 6. However, I
want to generalize this
so as to pick up the nInputs value from the ActiveSheet, as opposed to
hard-wiring a particular
sheet name.
The (obviously lame) attempt builds "mixer1!nInputs", but since it is a
String there is a type mismatch for
the Evaluation operator [expression]. Now, I can understand that, as I do
understand the difference
between xxx and "xxx". What I can't come up with is the proper syntax for
what I want to do.
Help!
TIA
