Designer SDK - get Object reference number from Object

If you right-click anywhere on the object browser in the VB Editor, you can select “Show hidden members” to see them.

Back to the original issue. I’m afraid with the Reporter object model you simply can’t interrogate the operand of a condition when it is set to another object, is a sub-query, is a result of the calculation wizard, etc. You can only interrogate the operand if it is a constant or prompt. You can confirm this by looking at the available options for the OperandType property. Only “Constant” and “Prompt” are the valid values.

With those limitations in mind, you might like to review the utility posted here. It’s from one of my conference presentations two years ago, and might be exactly what you are looking for.
