Find label associated with textbox
Is there a way, in code, to determine the label that is associated with a
specific text box, checkbox, combo box, etc.? The idea would be to loop through the controls in a form and be able to identify the label that is associated with one of these controls. Thanks for any help on this, Herb

Find label associated with textbox
It's actually easier to do the reverse: if a label is linked to a specific
control, then Forms("NameOfForm").Controls("NameOfLabel").Parent .Name will return the name of that control, whereas it will return the name of the form is the label isn't linked to a control. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Find label associated with textbox
This is usually done using the label's Tag property.
If a label were associated with a text control called City, it could be given a Tag of "City" Then you're control loop could look for that value... -- hth Al Campagna Candia Computer Consulting - Candia NH http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions "Herb" wrote in message ...
