Eric,

My office is trying to convert a U.S. and State/County thematic mapping program that we wrote in FoxPro 2.6 into VB 6.0.

We are faced with the same problem. We found the CallByName command in VB6; but, couldn't figure out just how to use it - we're new to VB. Could you give me an example of the sytax we need to use?

Thanks,

Dan
