variable inside variable not an array

ok i need to put variable inside a variable BUT IT CAN NOT BE AN ARRAY lol everyones telling me just do it it an array i cant becuase of other part of the program trust me ... so im going to try to make this simple i need somehting like this

VB Code:

for i% = 1 to 50
lbl{i%}.caption = i% ' this is the line i dont know how to do
next i%

how do i get the i% in there so it will seem like lbl1.caption or lbl100.caption

Use the Controls collection of the Form.

VB Code:

for i% = 1 to 50
   Me.Controls("lbl" & i%).caption = i% ' now you know how to do it.
next i%

thx man
