SUMMARY
The documentation for the CallByName function states that the first
parameter is the "name of the object on which the function will be
executed." This may be misleading when you use it with properties and
methods of a Class. If you use CallByName with the properties and methods
of a Class, the first parameter is actually an object variable reference
and not the name of the Class. The object must be instantiated prior to
using CallByName.
