Variable As Comparison Operator

Can you use a variable as an operator? For example:

Dim op
op = ">"
If Var1 op Var2 Then MsgBox "It Works!"

I have parameters stored in a database and each parameter includes an operator. When I compare a given value to the parameter, I was hoping to do that dynamically by extracting the operator from the parameter and using that in the comparison.
Otherwise, the only way I can see to do it is create a Function with a Select Case list for all the operators to check the parameter, do the comparison, then return the value to the Function.
