Saleem,

CallByName allows you to call a method of an object by its name;
to get the object from a name, you can use CreateObject. But be
careful, because CreateObject creates a new instance of the object.
If you are already using objCust in your application, it is not trivial to
get it from its name alone (unless you store its name in an object
collection)

The MSDN documentation of CreateObject and CallByName should be
clear enough, if you have problems send me an email

m.
