new object thats a copy of old object [resolved]

[dogfish227]

im trying to get an object from a collection and use it somewhere else
in the somewhere else that im useing it the object will be changed some. but i dont want it to change the object in the collection

it seems like i should just be able to say somehting like

dim obj as new object
obj = collection(1)

and the object in the collection wouldnt change when obj is changed but it still does

how can i stop it from changeing
