Dan,
Keep in mind that in VB.NET, all controls are dynamically created.
Therefore there is nothing unusual or inefficient about looping through the
Form's Controls collection at run-time. For each textbox, you may either
apply Shawn's solution (best) or dynamically attach your KeyPress event
handler, like this:
AddHandler objTextBox.KeyPress, AddressOf frm_KeyPress
