[AccessD] Max of 20 values

Hi John and Arthur

You also could loop exactly the controls in question:

Set frm = Me.Form   'or a subform.
For intControlM = 1 To 20
  Set ctl = frm.Controls("M" & CStr(intControlM))
  ' Do stuff.
Next

I am just addressing how to find the controls not what you do with them when you find them.

You could walk the collection once adding the control into a collection when it matches the name. 
Once you do that then you walk your collection instead of the form's.
