Variables by reference.

[HomerTG]

I've started this code but am stopped by my ignorance. I just don't know enough.



Dim Mvar as String

How do I get MVar from being an actual variable to being the address of a variable? I'm putting it through a For I to 10 Next loop. I want to place inside it "CP"+(i) (which is a report variable that really exists) and then access it by reference. How do I get MVar to be accessed for the address, not what's really inside it?

What do you mean by "CP"+(i) is a report variable?

What are you doing within this loop? Show code.

I have various report variables for CP( which means Child Present). I have CP1 through CP10. This is for 38 programs, which are NUA1 through NUA38. I want to access each of these variables. I used to do this in old Clipper or Dbase by inserting a & prior to the variable. So MVar (containing "CP1") is presented to the compiler as &MVar (which is the address of CP1). In a for...next I can blow through these 38 x 10 variables quickly. I just do not know how to make MVar, which contains "CP1" or "CP"+(i), an actual address rather than a variable.

The only thing I can suggest is to populate an array with the CP values then loop through the array.
