Variable Object Instantiation

[whornak]

How do I instantiate a Crystal Report or any other object when the name of the object is stored in a variable?

BTW SBendBuckeye, I got it to work this way

Private Function GetFormByName(ByVal formName As String) As Object
        Dim myasm As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
        Try
            Return myasm.CreateInstance(myasm.GetName.Name.Replace(" ", "_") & "." & formName)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return Nothing
        End Try
    End Function
