Ok, there are many posts all over the net with possible solutions to this challenge, but none seem to suit my needs. in the 'good ol' days' (VB6 and Prior) you could simply copy/paste controls to a form and set Index properties to create an array of controls. These could then be manipulated individualy, for example:

MyTextBox(1).Te xt ="I"
MyTextBox(1).Te xt ="WOZ"
MyTextBox(1).Te xt ="'ERE"...
