hi everyone,

this is my prob:

i have a function obj which takes a parameter, and looks up the parameter in a XML file, and performs the specific operation.

for eg,

obj("link1").click

this would look up the link1 in the XML file and identify the object on a web page and click it

now, i have this gui calender which has 31 links for 31 days

if i need to click day 3, i'd write obj("link3").click

now when i get the date as 12/23/2004, i want to parameterise the name of the variable, instead of writing a Select Case for 31 cases, something like:

dt = 12/23/2004
i = day(dt)

==> obj("link &i").click

how do i make the above step work(i know its wrong)? it should append the number to 'link' and execute it ...

any ideas [?][?][?]

If I am getting you correctly, you want your end result to be something like, obj("link" & DAY).click where "link" & DAY would equal http://someurl/DAY.htm?

If that is the case you could do something like obj("link" & day(dt) & ".htm).click
Also, is link a variable from earlier in the script? i.e. Link = "http://someurl"
If so, then your line would be obj(link & "/" & day(dt) & ".htm).click

Edit: obj(link & "/" & day(dt)) tried it, but not working

the line needs to dynamically insert number into the variable name:

obj(link & day(dt)) must be executed as obj("link1") when day(dt) is 1 at runtime
