I need to search throug a Table (both fields and records) that contains a variable name. The Field or Record to go to is unknown. It is calculated. So it comes up with I need the contents of record QXZ172426, Field rst!WN09. How do I get the contents of rst!WN09? I can make it work in ASP and VB6, but not VBA

Example I have a Field in a Table names rst.WN0

Dim db As Databas
Dim rst As Recordse
Dim ChkByte As Byt
Dim wrkIndx As Byt
Dim HoldIt As Strin
Dim WNWN As Byt

Set db = CurrentD

Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM UNIVREC"

Do Until rst.EO
wrkIndx =
For wrkIndx = 1 To 2
If wrkIndx < 10 The
HoldIt = "WN0" & wrkInd
Els
HoldIt = "WN" & wrkInd
End I
WNWN = (rst!(= HoldIt)) ' This is where my problem is . WNWN should be 0 or a number from 1 to 129.
MsgBox WNW

Been trying for several weeks now. Can this be done

Thanx in Ad

Try this:

Do Until rst.EOF
For wrkIndx = 1 To 25
HoldIt = "WN" & Format(wrkIndx, "00")
WNWN = rst!Fields(HoldIt).
MsgBox WNWN
Next
