Hi VB Gurus (I hope),

I want to create a function that can execute a formula that gets passed in as a parameter. In VFP, I can simply use the EVAL function or if necessary, the ill spoken macro substitution character.

In VFP my code would look something like this:

nValueA = 2
nValueB = 3
nValueC = 6
cCalcString = "(nValueA + nValueB) * nValueC"

nResult = EVAL(cCalcString) && nResult is 30

How would I do this in VB? I'd rather not hard-code every formula (there's over 100) if possible.

Thanks for your help!
