 MyObject.AddProperty("LastName", "Vin") 

I execute

 MyCollectionObject.Add "LastName", "Vin" 

Later, instead of

 lcTemp = MyObject.LastName 

I execute

 strTemp = MyCollectionObject("Lastname") 

Collections work not just with text, but with numbers, objects, etc., so it tends to fit the bill in a lot of the cases I am dealing with.... But, nowhere near as elegant.

Oh yeah. I knew about this, but wasn't even thinking of it. In fact, this is probably a better way to do what I am doing anyway.

Thanks...
