Simplest way is to use a standard naming convention for controls such as 
always name the label the same as the textbox, but with a different prefix.

so txtMyFirstTextBox would have a label called lblMyFirstTextBox.

Then the label's name will always be "lbl" & mid$(me.name,4).


Otherwise you have to step through the controls collection of the form and 
check all the labels, looking for the one who's "parent" property is 
txtMyFirstTextBox
