Hi Moises,

Suppose, we want to change text1 value to 'bbbbbb' and the textbox name 'text1' is in a variable TextBoxToChange.

Here is how we do it without macro

store 'bbbbbb' to ('thisform.' + TextBoxToChange + ".value") && this is the simplest way if we only need to assign something

We're using name expression here.

We can also do it this way:

loTextBox = evaluate('thisform.' + TextBoxToChange) && alternatively can use GetPem here, but I don't have VFP help handy to check the syntax

loTextBox.value = 'bbbbbb'
loTextBox.RunSomeMethod()

There is almost no need for any macros to do object manipulations.

store 'aaaaa' to ('thisform.' + myText + ".value")
