I know this should be really simple but I am having a problem and hopefully a fresh set of eyes will see the error I am overlooking.

I have  94 elements named stathistoryby ending in 05 to 94 example is stathistoryby10.

I had a test button that displayed the data from stathistoryby10 in a @msgbox that worked fine with this line below

@Msgbox("Status " + vAnswer + " History:","",stathistoryby10)

Now I wanted the user to select what status they wanted to see so I thought I would use @PromptForUserInput() to have them enter the number and then use that input to append stathistoryby with so it would show the data that is in the element.

The code below is what I used. I tried changing my variable to a string, I tried making another variable that created the stathistoryby with the number and then using the variable in my @Msgbox() I tried wrapping the command in () but no matter  what I do @Msgbox always displays my variable as  literal and not as the element name.

What am I overlooking?      

var  vAnswer as int
     vAnswer = @PromptForUserInput("What Status History would you like to see in more detail?", "")
     If vAnswer <> "" Then
     {
           
           @Msgbox("Status " + vAnswer + " History:","","stathistoryby" + VAnswer)

     }
     Else
     {
           @Msgbox("You didn't supply a Status Number to View.","","")
     }

Bharat.

Thanks for loking at this but I have tried it both ways, it does not seem to have any effect (affect?) on the results.

Thank you SIR!

you got it perfect. I tried every combo of wrapping that but not the @ outside the parentheses.

Thanks, once again for the guidance and help.
