Is there any other way than to do this other than slow for each loop?

You can use an array of types, like so .

Type MyType
  field x#, y#, z#
End Type

Dim MYarray.MyType(100)

For l = 0 to 100
  MYarray(l) = new MyType
  MYarray(l)\x = blah
  MYarray(l)\y = blah
Next
[\code]


To get the y value for the 53rd instance use:

[code]
Print MYarray( 52 )\y

Or make use of object and handle. It depends on what you're doing really?

Ok, basically what i am doing is I create an object, then i need to find it later on, but I don't know where i put it in the first place(like dynamically creating them)

I will look into object and handle

Or use something like a Map.
