[AccessD] Find First in an Array? - The Solution Revisited -Now Tag is the Answer

That is the other failing point of the Tag property.  If you use it for
one purpose, fine.  But if you become dependent on it, the amount of
work required to maintain those 'multiple' values is a stretch.

Tags really do server a good purpose.  For example, let's say I want to
have specific fields required in a form, that aren't necessarily
required in the tables.  You can 'tag' the controls you want required at
design time, without having to come up with a special naming structure
or naming all the required fields in code.

But if I want to tag those 'required' fields, and translate them too, it
would be more complicated.

ROTFLMAO.

Hmm, lets throw THIS thing in the tag too.  OK, that worked so well
let's throw THAT thing in the 
tag.  Ohhhh, wait a minute, how 'bout this other thing over there...

Enjoy yourself, I will stick to the tools that Access gave me - like
collections, and classes, 
containers for encapsulating code, all of that kind of stuff that
programmers have been begging for 
for decades.

Now we have them, let's store the world in the tag property.

Hmmmm...

OK, YOU do that!
