Extract the text from a Shape using Code

[Mike]

I have created a procedure to generate shapes with text from a recordset. I
want to reference the text in a shape on the page I execute the code from,
to use as a variable when I create the recordset SQ at runtime. What is the
correct syntax to reference the shape object and the text it contains?
Thanks

the quick way is to use v2003 macro facility and create a macro that you can
examine.

Thanks Al. That is a great method. I never would of thought that it would
take so many object references to drill down to the desired shape on a
sheet.

Thanks again.
