>How can I refeance the object name as a variable?. I have several shapes on my form. I want to loop through them and turn them a diferent color one at a time.

FOR EACH loControl IN THISFORM.Controls
	IF loControl.BaseClass = "Shape"
		loControl.BackColor = RGB( 255, 0, 0 )
                ** anything else you want to do to the control here
	ENDIF
ENDFOR
