I am doing that right now and I suspect that is where the solution lies but haven't been able to get the syntax right I am importing Sytem.reflection and I am looking at Assembly.Getassembly but it wants a system.type not a string.
I need something that will take the string and know that is the name of the business object I want.
Something like me.properties("_Propmaster").count
But there doesn't seem to be a properties collection of the form - unless that is what i am supposed to find with reflection.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
