Eval() is not documented in the DTS package, but it is documented on Microsoft's Script site.

It works just like the VFP EVAL() function. BUT, it is not available in VB. And CallByName does not perform the same function.

It would be good to know if there is a built-in VB fucntion that performs the same function, or, barring that, if someone has written one.
