Application.Evaluate

This converts the name of an object to its actual value.
Using Application.Evaluate is identical to using [square brackets] around your argument.
The only reason people use the square brackets is that it is shorter
The advantage of using the Evaluate function is that the argument is a string so it is possible to construct the string from code.
