Hi Wallace, You could play with RTTI, but as there are only 9 I'd tend to look at a simple array of function pointers and string function names. Or use a stringlist (for the names) and store the function pointers in the associated objects list. At runtime set up the function pointers using the addr() function. You could get all OO and have a base class with subclasses redefining the draw method or similar. Steve

I have 9 function routines that are used by several forms. I have a database with 9 records that has specific data for each function. If I select record 4 for example, how do I run a function where it's name is within the database field called FUNC. tbl.Oper.feildbyname['Func'].AsString has 'Circle' or 'Square' as its data Now I need to run a function like Circle(Data) or Square(Data) when selecting the relevant record.
