Maybe I misstated my problem. I have an editbox on the screen. I want to add another editbox to the screen based on an existing editbox already on the screen. I don't want to instatiate another editbox based on a class from a library, but rather from the first editbox in its current state. When I create the second editbox on the fly the existing editbox's properties have already been modified or set that I may want to use as they currently exist. Basically, I'd like to be able to say something like:

THISFORM.ADDOBJECT("edtMemo2", "THISFORM.edtMemo1")

By the way, this code doesn't work because it can't find a class named THISFORM.edtMemo1 in any library. I tried it without the quotation marks around THISFORM.edtMemo1 as well...
