Converting string name of an object to the actual object

[chilling]

Is it possible to dim an object as a evaluation of a string variable.

Friend gobjSalesRecord As SageDataObject100.SalesRecord
 
Public Sub New(ByVal strSDODataObjectName As String)
 
        Dim objSDODataObject As Object
 
        objSDODataObject = strSDODataObjectName
 
        ......
 
End Sub

Where strSDODataObjectName = "gobjSalesRecord"

I want to convert that string name of the object to the actual Object and pass that, ie make objSDODataObject = gobjSalesRecord
