Merci, Sylvain,

So I guess I need a special class of my textbox, for example, with a new property called, for example "ValidExp". Then, in my VALID method I would put:

return eval(this.ValidExp)

Then I would add it to my form with:

MyForm.AddObject("txt1", "SpecialTextboxClass")
loTxt1 = MyForm.txt1
loTxt1.ValidExp = lcValidationExpression

Is that it?
