html objects question

[reeset]

I'm hoping that someone smarter then I might be able to lend me a hand. I am writing a program that outputs an .hta application and a vbs script. The outputed file is used to make changes to an Access Database, and the vbscript is used to actually make those changes. Well, here is my problem.

Lets say in the .hta program, the form name is "form1", and the textboxes to be changed are "T1-50"

Now I need to perform an action on all of those T1-50 textboxes when the submit button is clicked. However, I can not figure out how to set this into a loop. For example, I have tried:

For x=0 to 50 
   If form1.T & x & .value="Update" then
         do something
   Else
         do somethingelse
   end if
Next

The error that I am getting is that the object or method does not exist, which makes sense. However, in regular vb, I can write this statement and it will work, but not in vbs. Right now, the solution to my problem is to just write out each individual action, but this could make the .vbs file incredibly bulky (I am working with tens of thousands of records). I know that it can be done in Javascript, but I really don't want to do it, so if you can help, I would appreciate it.

Instead of naming your textboxes Text1, Text2, Text3 etc...
Use Arrays, so its Text1(0), Text1(1), Text1(2) etc...

Then change youtr code to handle arrays instead of the string name

For x = 0 to 50 
   If Form1.Text1(x).Value = "Update" Then
         'do something here

   Else
         'do somethingelse here

   End If
Next
