Eddie,

Builders to the rescue.

Here's a little builder that will remove the digits from the currently selected object names. It doesn't bother with checking to see if it'll cause a name conflict ie text1 and text2 both trying to become text.

n = aselobj( lax )
for i = 1 to n
   lax[i].name = chrtran( lax[i].name, "0123456789", "" )
endfor

This builder will do the whole form at once:

aselobj( lax, 1)
lax[1].name = chrtran( lax[1].name, "0123456789", "" )

for each loObject in lax[1].Objects
   loObject.name = chrtran( loObject.name, "0123456789", "" )
endfor

>When I add the class "cmdExit" button to a form, it names the button "cmdExit1". I was wondering if there is a way to prevent it from putting the 1 on it as there is only one of these buttons on a form =)
