Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference

[cday119]

Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference in the declarations on "Form1.tabSearc h.". Anyone know why this is happening?

    Public Function getArgs(ByVal Op As String, ByVal OpeningQuote As String, ByVal ClosingQuote As String, Optional ByVal controls As Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection = Form1.tabSearch.Controls) As String

        Dim args As String = " "
        Dim Text As New Control
        For Each Text In controls
            If TypeOf Text Is TextBox Then
                If Text.Text <> "" Then
                    args = Text.Name & " " & Op & " " & OpeningQuote & Text.Text & ClosingQuote
                End If
            End If
        Next
        Return args
    End Function
