Thanks a lot for your help, Jim.
I'm not used to working with dictionary, but will look at this solution.
Thanks for code sample, it will be be of great help!!

        <p>Hi all, Is there a way to use a kind of indirection, just
          like Dynamic strings and #, but for other type of variable, in
          particular with arrays? Let say I have 3 arrays named
          MyArray1, MyArray2 and MyArray3. I need to use them with
          indirection, something like:</p>
        <pre>Dim Name1 As String="MyArray1"
Dim Name2 As String="MyArray2"
Dim Name3 As String="MyArray3"
If Value=1
    Result=#Name1(0)
End If</pre>
        <p>TIA for any help</p>
