Surely

sProperty = textbox1.tag
msgbox("Custom Object Property = " & sProperty)

gets what you want?

Hello all,
Is there a way to pass a string variable such as "textBox1.visible=true"
to
be read as code? I'm wanting to store short object properties within
control
tags to reduce code so that the program can loop through several text
boxes
and return values using the text in the control tag.

Simplified example;

dim Task as CustomObject
sProperty = textbox1.tag
msgbox("Custom Object Property = " & task.sProperty)

Thanks!
