Currently I am trying to implement object level security in Visual Basic.
I am storing the object names in which I am trying enable or disable based
on an associated security level.   When performing a query on a name in a DB
I receive back a string.   I would like to take that string and perform
property settings on it as if it was the object.
For Example.

'minus the db stuff
dim sVal as string
sVal = "command1"  'an example object
sVal.Enabled = False ' not a valid statement but gives the essence of what I
am trying to do.

I have also tried using an object of type varient but that does not work
either.  Once it receives the string from the database it emulates a string.
Additionally I have tried defining an object of type Object and that does
not work either it wont accept a string as its value.

So any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Dim objControl      As Object
Dim strControl      As String
Dim i                   As Long

For i = 1 to 3
  strControl = "cmdDynamic" & CStr(i)
  Set objControl = Controls(strControl)
  objControl.Enabled = False
  Set objControl = Nothing
Next i

Set up a form with three command buttons named "cmdDynamic1" -
"cmdDynamic3"...then run the code above.  You should be able to adapt this to
whatever you need.  ;)
