[AccessD] Eval Function... (or a better way)

Reference the controls:

Me("Chk" & n)

or create a form reference:

Set frm = Forms("frmAnyName")
For n = 1 to 21
    frm("Chk" & n) =  bWhichWay
Next

Or create an array of controls in the form open or load

Dim chkCtl(21) As CheckBox 'at form module level scope

For n = 1 to 21
    Set chkCtl(n) = Me.("Chk" & n)
Next

Thereafter, you can reference the controls as members of the array of 
controls

For n = 1 to 21
    chkCtl(n) = bWhichWay
Next
