Object selecting problem

I am having a problem selecting my objects. I created objects with create>nurbs>cylinder and now when i go to select it it wont let me. The only way i can edit it is if i use control vertex's. I want to convert it to poly's too but i cant because i cant select the object?!?!?!?

Any thoughts how to correct this or what might cause it? Its not a old project i just started it today and im already having problems. There are only 3 objects...all nurbs cylinders all having the same problem.

Please help

Nate

sounds like you're in component mode. Press F8 and see if can select the surface again.
