Hi all,

I am hoping this is simple, but I cannot seem to get my head around the
solution and it is rather tricky to google.

The problem is simple

I have a line in code like this

Dim strField as string

gstrSQL = "SELECT " & strField & " FROM tblWhatEver"
Set rsDAO = DBEngine(0)(0).OpenRecordset(gstrSQL)

' THIS WORKS:
if rsDAO.Recordcount > 0 then
	dblValue = rsDAO!AD
end if

WHAT I WANT (and it doesn't work):
if rsDAO.Recordcount > 0 then
	dblValue = rsDAO!" & strField
end if

Can I make the fieldname after the '!' dynamic?  and what is the syntax?

cheers
Darryl.
