This worked for me!
Thank you vb5prgrmr very much for your suggestion!
The code that i got to work is listed below.

For others who may want to do this, here are some points to be aware of:

1 I did quite a bit of searching before posting my own question. Other people seemed to be satisfied when they were pointed to Eval or Application.Run . I do not know why these worked for others and not for me. Therefore,...

Private Sub cmdProcessEvent s_Click()
strEventID = "Audit0001"

'This works:
Audit0001

'These do not:
Eval (strEventID)
Application.Run strEventID

End Sub

Private Sub Audit0001()
MsgBox "Here i am"
End Sub
