problems with control names (1 Viewer)

[dreamdelerium]

hey all. heres a bit of a challenge: i have 6 forms with about 100 controls(a mix of checkboxs, textbox, and group controls, and combo boxes as well as labels and each form varies in the number of controls) on each on. each control, that im concerned with, is named in this manner: Q000, Q001...Q100. there are other controls on the forms with other naming conventions but im not concerned with them. the problem i have is, if i need to add a new control to a form, i need rename every control (ie, if i need to add a new control called Q005, i will need to add 1 to every control name from Q005 to Q100 so the old Q005 will become Q006, old Q006 will become Q007 etc). another problem is this: like i said, there are other controls on the forms with generic names (like Label1234) whose names i dont want to change. any ideas?

challenge number two: is there a way to reasign all the old events to the new control name

You may find this thread here useful, it starts off with basics of handling multiple controls and goes right up through to some advance stuff.
