(See <--????? below in Sub Load_Enum for problem).

I have looked and looked ... everyone speaks about
how to use enumerators (thanks) but WHAT TYPE is
it when passing as a parameter?  

p_enm As System.Enum doesn't work.
p_enm As Object      doesn't work.
p_enm As Type        doesn't work.

Don't laugh please - I have tried stuff like:
Dim enm As System.Enum = CType(p_enm, System.Enum)

So what does work? (See <--????? below).

 Public Enum enm_cboTest1 As Integer
   Completed = 1
   Not_Started = 2
 End Enum

 Public Enum cboTest2 As Integer
   Completed = 1
   Not_Started = 2
 End Enum

 Call Load_Enum(enm_cboTest1)
 Call Load_Enum(cboTest2 As Integer)

 Private Sub Load_Enum(ByVal p_enm As System.Enum) <--?????
   Dim names As String() = System.Enum.GetNames(GetType(p_enm))
   For i As Integer = 0 To names.Length - 1
     Dim myText As String = names(i).Trim.Replace("_", " ")
     Dim myValue As p_enm = System.Enum.Parse(GetType(p_enm), names(i))
     Dim b1 As Integer = 0
   Next
 End Sub
