function pointers

Hey,

Why don't you set up swich-case with function name as
Function CallThisFunction(strFunName as String) as long
[Code Here]
End Function

in this function you can compare name and call suitable function. No function pointers in VB :-)

Depending on what things your functions are doing, you may have them as strings in Db, and run them as vbscript code
ie:

'add a reference to Microsoft Script control
option Explicit
private scrp as ScriptControl
private Sub Form_Load()
set scrp = new ScriptControl
scrp.Language = "Vbscript"
scrp.AddCode "if x <> 5 then msgbox""Hello!"" end if"
scrp.ExecuteStatement "if x <> 5 then msgbox""Hello!"" end if"
'you can add a string loaded from a text file!
scrp.AddCode "Sub DoThis" & vbCrLf & "msgbox ""Called a sub""" & vbCrLf & "end sub "
scrp.Run "DoThis"

set scrp = nothing
End Sub

Change language to javascript!
However, look also here:

A better way to call fuunct and sub via strings:
using CallByName function!
