>How can you get an object reference to the object itself then in VB?

Hi David,

You have to use the set statment to set an object to a var. example

dim loText as TextBox
set loText = me.Text1
' The following both set the property.
loText.text = "Hello"
loText = "goodbye"

It's not as terrible as everyone imagines, and does save some typing.
