I think Benoit means something like this:

1. when adding your textboxes (or whatever) to the form, set the 
Tag property to, say, whatever you would have set the Index 
property to in VB.

2. in your code, write something like this:  (I haven't tried 
this because I don't have access to my client's 
too-many-textboxes project...)

public Textboxes as Collection
...
' following goes in Form_Open
dim tb as object
for each tb in me.children
	if tb.tag > 0 then Textboxes.add(tb,tb.tag)
next

I have to admit I never considered this possibility, and would 
have suggested it to their VB programmers if I had.
