Call Function by Name

Just wonder how to call the function if I have it's name in the variable String
for example something like that:

sub runFun()
     dim name as string
     name = "test"
     result=callByName(?,name,?,?)
end sub

Function test() as Boolean
      test=True
End Function

maybe there are some other ways?
Thank you for your help,

I completed your example to illustrate it better:

Sub runFun()
Dim name As Boolean
name = test
result = CallByName("Charlie", name, "Frank")
End Sub

Function test() As Boolean
test = True
'test = False
End Function

Function CallByName(a As String, name As Boolean, b As String)
If name = True Then
    MsgBox a
Else
    MsgBox b
End If
CallByName = name
End Function

hi ray
I am not sure that I understood you
I used CallByName fucntion because there is such a fuction which executes a method of an object
So I thought maybe it can be used for calling a function if u have its name saved in the string variable

in my example I know that there is a function named "test" and I wanted to call that function
Imagine u have a list of similar finctions: test1, test2, test3 etc
you want to call them in the loop
so inside the loop u will assign a string variable name="test"+cstr(i) and afterfards u want to call the function with name="test"+cstr(i)

I tried to work out the glitches. For example result = "test" will not use the function test, rather it defines it as the string test; I correct3ed it to use the Boolean function "test". Also you redefined name as a text when it was a Boolean value; I corrected it.
