Sandy,

Why not make chk_ssn a custom method of txtSSN? This way you make the object more encapsulated and therefore easier to reuse.

You can drop one of the oSSN objects onto your form and then use it like:

returnvalue = thisform.oSSN.chk_ssn( this.Value )

but when you do this you tie those two objects together which might not be an optimal design in all cases.
