There's also a little trick I use at development time to find a constant value. This takes advantage of the scripting component (which I believe is installed with IE).

oScript= CreateObject("msscriptcontrol.ScriptControl")
oScript.Language ="VBScript"
? oScript.Eval("vbRed")

(Note that if you pass a name that VB doesn't recognize, it returns null.)
