So in your sample, the variable CHECKING contains the value of the actual variable name? That is what I understand Eileen is trying to do.
Fred = "Some value" CHECKING = "Fred" 'GLOBALV PUTT CHECKING' Fred = "another value 'GLOBALV GETT CHECKING' Say Fred Should show "Some value" not "another value".
