laziness and dictionaries

[JT]

im using a data dictionary to store a bunch of name/value pairs - im
wondering if there is a way i can refer to the items in my dictionary
without always having to type, for example:

objDictionary.Item("account_no")

can't i somehow extract all the values so that i can simply type account_no?

i know i can name my dictionary something easy like 'd', but im still
feeling lazy.

Sure, but you'll have to do it at the top of every asp page where you want
to use the values.

For each thing in objDictionary
Execute "dim " & thing & " = """ & objDictionary.Item(thing) & """"
Next

(you'll need to check the exact syntax on looping the dictionary...I've got
it in my code somewhere but I'm feeling lazy and I don't want to go look it
up

It seems like something like this might work:

With objDictionary
MyVar = .Item("account_no")
End With
