this is a small sample i made and was testing. I am building a string with macro's in it. Once the string is built i want to convert the string into an object. Like if i want to pass a '1' to my funciton it will turn function it will build the string "this.cmd1.visible=false" The only problem is converting the string to an object that i can fire. In Visual fox pro all i had to do was build the string (dum="thisform.img1.visible=.f.") and then convert it to an object by saying "&dum". thanks for any help
