You have to do it the way I just wrote in my last message, ie:
data1.DatabaseName = YourVariable
data1.Refresh

You can't put your variable name in the properties of the object. The reason is that things that are in the properties are compiled and therefore need to be constant. If you variable (your case), you have to assigned it at design time just like the sample I give you.

Is it answering your question?
