Use a Temporary Variable in a Macro

[tstevens]

I have just upgraded to Office 2007 and am trying to make use of a temporary
variable TempVar created by a SetTempVar action. That seemed to go well
enough. However, I can't for the life of me find how to reference it later
in a macro SetValue call.

I see lots of advice about translating the macro into VBA and referencing it
there - but I think that is more sophisticated than my application deserves.

Thank-you, Steve,

That works nicely. Is there a reference I should have found? I have been
looking for a usual reference manual pertaining to Office 2007 Access but
have not found it yet. I do not expect to have to ask such a trite question.

Tom,

I didn't regard it as a trite question.

I regret to say that I don't think this is covered well in Access Help. I
think I first learned about it in a book, probably "Access 2007 Inside Out"
by Viescas & Conrad.
