Database Variable Problems

i need to assign variables from a recordset called from an SQL statement but i can't figure out how to change the Field Name bit to a variable .... i've tried all sorts of bracket combinations, etc but to no avail. is this possible at all?

EG:

VarToBeAssigned = RstRecordSet![NeedToHaveVarInHere]

Try:

VarToBeAssigned = RstRecordSet![<FIELD_NAME in database>]

are you looking for this?
dim varFieldName as string
varFieldName= "A_field_name"
varToBeAssigned= rsRecordset(varFieldName).value

Warning: the recordset maybe a null value, so
varToBeAssigned better be variant!
