Hi,
If the control's name is stored in a string one can iterate through the
controls collection of a form to access the control.

dim s as string="chkIsValid"
dim chk as CheckBox
for each ctl as control in me.controls
if typeof ctl is CheckBox andalso ctl.name.tolower=s.tolower then
chk=ctype(ctl,Checkbox)
exit for
end if
next

Is there a faster (and more elegant) way to do so?

Thanks
