Manu,

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Do you want to pass the control's object reference as a parameter, or what?

For example, if the control is called Text1, and it sits directly on the form, you can pass it like this:

DO MyProcedure WITH THISFORM.Text1

The procedure would need an LPARAMETERS statement to receive the object reference:

PROCEDURE MyProcedure
LPARAMETERS oControl
...
...
? oControl.Name
? oControl.Value
...
ENDPROC

If I have misunderstood the question, perhaps you could clarify.

Mike
