Hello everybody!
I spent one night and whole day to get out of this stuck.

I have problem with naming my button. For example:I have my own XPbutton(UserControl). I want to put the code in core of this control, because on form I have always 2 buttons. button1 name "btn(0)" and button2 named "btn(1)". So it is a control array(name is "btn" and indexes are 0 and 1. I want that whenever after the button1 "btn(0)" is presseed, the button2 "btn(1)" will change the caption. I solve the problem with For Each....IfTypeOf...etc, but I don't wanna use this solution, because if I use that solution, sth else go wrong. So I want just strictly change the caption of button.

If I use Screen.ActiveForm.btn(1).Caption = "yes" - this works. But this are my navigation btns, so I want to use them many times. So I did :
dim bName as string: bName = ScreenActiveControl.Name
dim bInd as Byte: bInd=Screen.ActiveControl.Index. So far so good.

Now I just want to locate:
Screen.Activeform.Contorls(bName(bInd+1)).Caption = "Caption for Second Button" -- Of course this doesn't work, but how can I solve this. Once again, I dont want to use For Each sentence.
Or just shorter, hot to access any control, if you partly know its name.

Please any suggestion?

Greetings from Slovenia.
Thanks

Hey "gbianchi"!
Thaks for your interest. I tried your suggested way. But it doesn't work. Because its problem in exact naming. If I use exact name-no problem. But if I want to use for example public sub, I cannot reach that contorol. Even if I use different names insted of control array.

Thanks anyway.

P.S: I think i am close to solution. When I (If I) solve this problem, I will tell everybpdy, how.

I know that my post is a little confused, but Brian solved them.

I knew it should be some trivial trick:
Screen.ActiveForm.Controls(bName)(bInd + 1) -- WORKS.

Thanks again to all.
