dynamically build call to a function

[JT]

what is the correct way to dynamically build a call to a function in asp? i
have the name of the function i want to call in a dictionary object, this
works to execute the function but the output_value variable does not get
set. any ideas??

functionString = d.Item("create_contract_function_name") 'set variable for
the create contract function name that was retrieved
functionString = "output_value = " & functionString & "(param1, param2)"

Execute functionString

Would this work (I haven't tested)?

functionString = d.Item("create_contract_function_name") 'set variable for
the create contract function name that was retrieved
functionString = functionString & "(param1, param2)"

output_value=Execute(functionString)

nevermind - sorry that does work - i made a silly mistake in my function..

i tried that i got a type mismatch error - so i guess you have to execute
the whole thing in one shot..
