[AccessD] Max of 20 values

 > This topic raises an ancillory question: supposing a number of fields named M1...M20, how can one 
code a loop that grabs their names and walks the loop and obtains these controls' values?

Each form has a controls collection

dim ctl as control
for each ctl in me.controls
	'now look at the control name
next ctl

Having a nice neat naming convention helps.

M01, M02 etc allows you to simply do

	if left(ctl.name,1) = "m" then
		debug.print ctl.value
	endif
