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!

Is the user input the control name? If so,

MsgBox Me.Controls(sStringCommand).Left

I didn't state my question very well. Instead, how could i make the
following work?
Dim sStringCommand as String

sStringCommand = "msgbox("Enter Name:")
call sStringCommand and have the code 'MsgBox... ' run

Thanks again,
Ryan
