Scott:

I prefer that style as well, but as you probably noticed, that doesn't seem to be the Adobe way <g>. As David mentioned, first you should test to see what the actual returned type is. Obviously, you'll need to get the return value in a variant for this testing. Also, in some cases, you may get different object types from some methods. In that case, you'll also need to load them (initially) into a Variant. Once you determine what they really are (and my code has Select Case Typename(vItem) in a number of places to do this), you can cast it to the proper type, and continue on from there with a strictly-typed object. Good luck,

-- Greg
