It does indeed get deep in a hurry.  The nice thing about a class implementation is that you can see 
the answer in VBA English.

The code works BTW.

Going in I thought I was going to be able to pass the control collections as simple collection types 
but not so.  I had to pass the control collections as objects, then use the objects as collections. 
  I would love to know what type the control collections are.  Most likely below the covers they are 
a strongly typed collection (of controls) but because they are at heart a collection all of the 
methods and properties are there once the object is passed in.

The implementation does allow me to concentrate on objects that contain collections of controls 
rather than on the controls themselves.
