Thanks john for your reply but the problem i am facing is i want the entire path of that object to store i.e formset1.form1.optiongroup1.option1 and so on. Also in objname field you only get optiongroup1 or commandgroup1 but it does not include the buttons like option1 or command1 within optiongroup or commandgroup. Same is the problem with the containers. And again there is no property called caption for commandgroup or optiongroup . what i need is the buttons within them. The caption is stored in the memo field named properties with lots of other stuff also. how do i only get the caption?

Any Help?

With Regards
Jay..
