Update Table from Unbound Form - Problem with For Loop sequence

Tags: ms, access, 2003
I am using a function to update a table based on an unbound form's fields.  Problem is that it is also passing the label controls. Determine control types and bypass all but the actual fields that contain data

Also I am not sure my loop is working correctly,  This is my attempt to prevent the labels as be passed as a control.  Not work right though.  See '>>>>>>>>>>

Thanks,

K
