dim loobj AS object lcproc = get your proc to execute set loobj = CREATEOBJECT("myobject." & lcproc) loobj.exec params>Well that stinks. I have a table that contains a list of requests. Each request has a list of steps(functions or procedures) to execute. After a request is selected, I query the steps table to get the appropriate procedures to execute. Is there anyway I can do this or am I gonna have to hard code everything? Thanks for the quick response, although it is very disappointing.
