Access Field Names

[Anonymous]

I am grabbing values from specific Access fields and storing them in a variable. If I type in strValue = !Panel it will grab the current record value for the Panel field and store it correctly to strValue.

If I cycle thru the field names by initially storing them as an array then strValue = "!Panel" will literally equal !Panel, obviously because it is recognizing it as a text string and not a field name. Does anyone know how to convert my field name that is stored in an array to be called on and recognized as an Access field name?

Sorry, you are going to have to post some code
because we have to see your technique for accessing the database and creating a
recordset of the data.

If you have something like:

strValue = RS.Fields!Panel

you can change it to something like:

strName(0) = "Panel"
strValue = RS.Fields.Item(strName(0)).Value

Thanks for the responses. I used the for each statement to cycle thru the fields til I matched the one I needed.
