Hi all, Thanks to all the suggestions from people I created this working solution for my problem.
on showvar2 stdnum, put (the globals).GetAProp(("gStandard" & stdnum & "DataRef").symbol)[varnum] end This seems to work just fine for grabbing the content of a global variable with the name I send to it (other than the pre-defined string). Thanks.
