FieldName Variable in VBA

[denyoung]

Working in Access VBA:


‘Where S1Speech is a field name in an Access 2007 table called SP
‘This 1st example works fine putting the value from S1Speech into the
variable S1

Dim S1 as String
S1= [S1Speech]


‘ These other 2 examples don’t work
Example #2
Dim S1 as String
Dim TXHolder as String
TXHolder = S1Speech
S1=[TXHolder]


Example #3
Dim S1 as String
Dim TXHolder as String
TXHolder = [S1Speech]
S1=TXHolder



Is there a way to use a variable in a situation like this?
Thanks

You don't mention where this code is running.

It would typically be used as code-behind-form, so your use of [S1Speech] is
probably pointing at the FORM, not the table.

If you need to peek into the table to get values, take a look at the
DLookup() function.

If you want to use code-behind-form, the field will need to be available in
the form.

Good luck!
