Value fo Variables and MSScriptControl

Good morning all,

At the moment I have a form with lots of textboxes, named in a coherent fashion. These relate both to a string variable containing the cell references on a sheet and a double variable conatining the values.

For instance.

the textbox me.txtSHCV relates to varSHCV and varSHCVt.

I have a caluculation that determines the name of the other variables based on the name of the text box.

i.e.

OptName = OptionBtn.Name
NName = Mid(OptName, 4, Len(OptName) - 2)
OptName = CStr("var" & NName & "")
OptName2 = CStr("var" & NName & "t")

Where OptName would be varSHCV and OptName2 would be varSHCVt.

OK, so why I hear you say. Well I am using MSScript control to change the values of these variables when ever a text box is updated.

So:

Rich (BB code):
Dim Script_Control As MSScriptControl.ScriptControl, Script_Control2 As MSScriptControl.ScriptControl
 
Set Script_Control = New MSScriptControl.ScriptControl
Set Script_Control2 = New MSScriptControl.ScriptControl
 
With Script_Control
    .Language = "VBScript"
    .AddObject "WsVB", Workbooks(1).Sheets("VBA Data")
    .AddCode _
        "Sub ChangeVals" & vbCrLf & "" & varSHCVt & " = " & CoVal & "" & vbCrLf & "End Sub"
    .Run ("ChangeVals")
End With

The above (sucessfully) changes the value of the reference cell in the reference sheet. Alternitively, I have a similar peice of code changes the value of the highlighted variable (varSHCV).

My issue is that I am struggling to pass the caluclated name of the variable into the Script.

My question is, is there anyway you can think of doing this?

For instance, OptName = varSHCVt, varSHCVt = Cells(1,1).Value.

I would like a function that would calculate the above so that NewVar = Cells(1,1).Value.

Obviously there are other ways I could do this, but in an effort to learn about MSScriptControl (and to avoid making my work over the last day meaningless) I would liek to continue with this methodaology if possible.

Many thanks in advance

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
I've tried to get around this issue by using a function:

Code:
With Script_Control2
.Language = "VBScript"
.AddCode "Function DetermineVals()" & vbCrLf & "DetermineVals = " & OptName2 & " " & vbCrLf & "End Function"
End With
rslt = Script_Control2.Eval("DetermineVals")

When you debug.print this statement, you get

Code:
Function DetermineVals()
DetermineVals =  varSHCVt
End Function

However, the function returbs rslt as empty. Any ideas?
