calling a method on a object that you know the string name for.

's Computer Specifications

say you have an object, and you want to call a method, but that method
name is a string.

is there a way to execute this method?

obviously, you can't do

obj.methodname

need something like

Invoke(obj, "methodname")... to execute that method on the object.

Check out CallByName. I think it does what you're talking about.
