Repeat variable name changing

[-= JB =-]

It sounds like you will want to use a repeat structure
like Eric or I mentioned and then create new variables
using the name of the variable and using the & statement
with the name to create the variable.

put "Hello" & 2 into the new name.  But I am not really
sure the proper way to write it so it becomes the name
of a variable.

Someone on the list might have a way to accomplish what
you want that uses an array or something else you haven't
tried.
