    Hie guys. I want to know if it is possible to declare variables at runtime in VB. Here is the logic trying to be achieved: Say you have a variable that you want to create out of a value in a table and then use it later in code, is it possible? Example: Table containing names: Animal Height Weight Color ------ ------ ------ ----- Dog 40 30 Brown Cat 20 3 Black ....... Then in your code you want to create a variable out of an animal name. To do this you will have a recordset or dataset with the animal atributes as shown above. The objective is to end up having variable names based on the Animal field, accommodating for new animals to be added, at runtime. From the above rows, the runtime code should create variables strDog and strCat. If any other animal, say XX, is added the same code should be able to create a variable strXX. Is this possible? Help please.

        1. Look up approx 2 inches 2. Read the notice that says "Please do not post programming questions here." [edit] it could be argued the VB isn't programming I suppose 3. Click the link next to it and post in the correct forum This forum is for people who are avoiding taking a break from work
