Thanks for this answer! &nbsp;I am using it, to start, with just Controls(&quot;controlName&quot;). &nbsp;This makes life easier than using the For Loop.

Thanks for this answer!  I am using it, to start, with just Controls("controlName").  This makes life easier than using the For Loop.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to check and set properties of controls on my form in VBA Access 97.<br />
<br />
Currently, I use a For loop to check the name of each control to find the one I want to modify. For example.<br />
For each ctl in Me.Controls <br />
If ctl.Name = &quot;Name_of_Control_I'm_Looki<wbr />ng_For&quot; then<br />
&nbsp; .... do something<br />
end if<br />
next ctl<br />
<br />
Is there a quicker and more efficient way to access a control by its name?<br />

Easy way to set control properties in VBA

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
