success = ""
msg_text = ""
msg_result = ""
End Sub
End Class

Many thanks for help so far - List on it's own does not appear to be supported either.... (Type 'List' is not defined') I can define it as an array but would I still be able to store an object in it? (Part of the application havily depends on being able to address each object / properties)
In VB.Net 2003 (and below) an ArrayList would suffice:

Have opted for the Collection and I am using CType to use type checking. Many thanks for all your help.
you will need to remove the (of T) but you will loose all type checking at the same time.
