Check out the FOR EACH in VFP Help. It's in there. Likewise, you should consider putting something in the Init of your classes used in the form so that you're only registering the controls that you really want to scan/check/work-with. That avoids you cycling through tons of controls for no reason at all. There's a pattern name for that but it escapes me at the moment. For example, in your txtKurt.Init class method, you'd have the following code: if this.lRegister then thisform.AddToCollectionToCheck(this) endif And of course that means you'd have a custom property called lRegister that you set to .T. if you cared about that object on the screen being included in your check/work-with-it routine. Then in your frmKurt form class, you'd have a custom method called AddToCollection that received the object as a parameter and added it to the form's collection (using some custom property like oControlsToCheck that was a collection object). Then when you needed to work with those controls that you really cared about, you could cycle through that collection. example: FOR EACH oObject in thisform.oMyControls This is all out of my head, but I think it should work. (And yes, I still prefer the old Hungarian notation for form property names.
