<script language=&quot;VBScript&quot;>
Sub LD(j)
document.form1.Length .Value=456
' j needs to go here ^

document.form1.submit
end sub
</script>

If you don't have that many, you can simply use SELECT CASE statement to achieve this...

cant you pass a sub an object

the sub you pass it to knows what type of object has been passed so...

Sub doSth(objPassed)

objPassed.Name = "helloworld"
'or
objPassed.Visible = True
'or
objPassed.Height = 110

End Sub

Rydel,

thanks for the reply, but there will be a variable number of objects...i had thought about the SELECT CASE statement, but it wouldn't work.

mrmovie,
your reply seems to be working, but i'll also need to pass three variables with it. This program is for loading things onto a trailer...what the sub LD does is lay the tank down...so Height, width, and length need to be passed.

will <input type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;LD(Length1,Width1,Height1)&quot;>
also work and just have the sub pick up all three?

thanks again (to both of you) for your speedy replies
