>>>All objects created this way have the same name as an array 'alabels'. The RemoveObject method requeres the name of control as a patrameter and "thisform.alabels(3)" isn't the name of control. Issuing thisform.removeobject( "alabels") multiple times will remove the objects one by one.

For which thanks, I may even be able to do away with the need for the additional array, all I need is the unique name.
