VBA Run String as Code - vba

Question

I want to read strings of code from a database. A string should include pieces of text and one/two variables which are set later in the project. The result should look like this:
"Greetings, Tom."
Usually I would do something like this:
Sub Show()
Dim strName as String
strName = "Tom"
Debug.Print "Greetings, " & strName & "."
...
But in this case the part
"Greetings, " & strName & "."
is on my database. During runtime I set the value of strName to multiple names (eg in one case to "Tom" and in another case to "Marco")
How is it possible to let VBA know that strName is a variable and not a string to be shown? In the end my call should look like this:
strDbText = <String from Database>
strName = "Tom"
Debug.Print strDbText '--> Greetings, Tom.
Can anyone help me out one more time?
Thanks a lot!
edit:
This code will not be an executable. So there is no need to go for the VBIDE-Objects to create a new module and execute inserted code. It is a string which will be written in a Word Document.
Solution:
String Substitution with the Replace() function

Answer 1

I would assign strName first and replace it with the string in the Database like this...
strName = "Tom"
strDbText = <String from Database>
strDbText = Replace(strDbText, "strName", strName) 'This distinguishes the string from the variable
Debug.Print strDbText '--> Greetings, Tom.
However, I would suggest using another variable in your database in place of strName because it may become confusing to look at.

Absolutely agreeing #ShanayL answer and strongly recommending its usage, I couldn't avoid pointing an unsafe alternative to solve your question, using Eval. Eval is potentially dangerous, creating a code injection vulnerability in your application!!!
strDbText = """Greetings, "" & strName"
strName = "Tom"
Debug.Print Eval(strDbText) 'Greetings, Tom
Notice: Eval is potentially dangerous and its usage is strongly disencouraged!
