Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do as you mention
using value() for something which doesn't sound like it needs it...
Array keys can be arbitrary (string-valued) expressions - i.e. they
don't have to be literal strings:
e.g. put tFoo["wp_" & tMiddlePart & "_" & tSuffix] into
tMiddlePartSuffixValue
Warmest Regards,
