One other possibility is to use the Action class:

	Action["thebuttons"].Enabled = True

As a supplement to Kende's answer, you can also have the Form search the
exact names for you:

	FMain.Controls["Button" & Str$(i)].Enabled = True

Also, if they are all in the same container (and are the only ones in the
container), you can initially set only the container to Enabled = False
which would also disable its children. Reenabling the container will
reenable all the children, too.
