How is it that the name of the the control or the
control's name property can get exposed through
the .controls collection of the form object?

I want to loop through the control collection and validate
some business logic - from this point I want to know what
the name or name property of the control I am in during
loop.. Then I can use it in msgbox function or setfocus
function if the validation fails (False). Thanks for your
help.

I already know how to loop, just don't know how to expose
the name of control.

Thanks

"Me.Controls.Item(indx)"
 
Me.Controls.Item(indx).Name is the name of the control (ie
txtLastName)
Me.Controls.Item(indx).value is what is IN the control
(Text value usually)
