Not working if not hard coded (web link).click - dlaureano - 02-08-2013

I'm new to QTP and I'm just trying to click a link in a web page and the "Click" only works if is hard coded. If I try to run [variable].click I receive the following error:
Object required: 'Browser("Main").Page'

Function file: Z:\KDF2\Function Library\FunctionLibrary.vbs
Line [170];"
control_object.click".

Code:
            Select Case sAction

            Case "Click_Link"

                 '   control_object = Browser("Main").Page("Main").Link("Members")    '<<--<<-- CONTROL_OBJECT VALUE

                    'Browser("Main").Page("Main").Link("Members").click '<<--<<-- HARD CODED RAN WITHOUT PROBLEM.

                control_object.click

Try to use similar as given below:

Code:
control_object=trim(control_object)

Execute(trim(control_object & ".Click"))

Please use the "Set" keyword when creating object references.The code below should work.

Code:
Set  control_object = Browser("Main").Page("Main").Link("Members")

control_object.click
