ok here is the code i have:

    frmPartNum.lblUse1.Caption = strOWArray(1)

    frmPartNum.lblUse2.Caption = strOWArray(2)

    frmPartNum.lblUse3.Caption = strOWArray(3)

    frmPartNum.lblUse4.Caption = strOWArray(4)

    frmPartNum.lblUse5.Caption = strOWArray(5)

    frmPartNum.lblUse6.Caption = strOWArray(6)

    frmPartNum.lblUse7.Caption = strOWArray(7)

    frmPartNum.lblUse8.Caption = strOWArray(8)

    frmPartNum.lblUse9.Caption = strOWArray(9)

    frmPartNum.lblUse10.Caption = strOWArray(10)

    frmPartNum.lblUse11.Caption = strOWArray(11)

    frmPartNum.lblUse12.Caption = strOWArray(12)

    frmPartNum.lblUse13.Caption = strOWArray(13)

    frmPartNum.lblUse14.Caption = strOWArray(14)

    frmPartNum.lblUse15.Caption = strOWArray(15)

    frmPartNum.lblUse16.Caption = strOWArray(16)

now this would be alot better if i could do a simple little loop on it that way i wouldnt have to have the code look like this even tho it works. so i was wondering if it is possible to make the lbluse* name something so that i can change where the * is?? is this even possible

you can make a control array, that's what you need.

while your in forum view just select the forum item that you want to amke an array of and right click and select copy, then paste.

do that till you have 16 of em.

then you can loop through em later in the code. like this:

for x = 0 to 15 step 1

     thing = lblUse[x]

      MsgBox thing

Next x

No Prob. Even though i answered this in the irc channel, i thought that i would post the answer here so others could use it.
