To respond to your second question first, use TYPEOF, for example

If TypeOf ActiveControl is Textbox then
    'text box instructions
Else If TypeOf ActiveControl is CommandButton then
    'command button instructions
Else
    'check out IF...Then...Else under help for more detail
End If

>2)  Can you evaluate a expression at run time.
> dim x as string
> dim y as string
> x= "text1"  ' x is the name of a text box
> y = "Caption"    'y if  a property of the text box  or
> y = "text"    'y if  a property of the text box
>
>    how do you the text1.caption or text1.text in the runtime ?
