    Re: problems with control names

    i am unclear if you are doing this in access or vb2008
    generic vb code would be to loop through all controls
    Code:
    for each c in me.controls
 if left(c.name, 1) = "Q" then 
     'code here to rename from 5
 end if
next
    if you only want to process labels you can use
    if typename(c) = "Label" then
    typof does not work with all ms office controls, but afaik typename does

    to edit the events of each control you could try to export the module, then process it as a text file then import it back

    or you can use
    Code:
    for i = 100 to 6 step -1
   me.controls("Q" & format(i, "000"). name =  "Q" & format(i, "000")
next

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
