Lets say I have the following code:

MSODSC.Datapages(0).FirstSection.HTMLContainer.Children("field_name").Focus
MSODSC.Datapages(0).ApplyFilter

How can I use textbox.value to define "field_name"?

I know if I say const variable = "a_string" then it will load the field a_string, but I can't use a textbox.value to define a const variable, so what can I do?

If I just use

MSODSC.Datapages(0).FirstSection.HTMLContainer.Children(textbox.value).Focus

then it gives me an object required: string error.
