what i know is the long method...

textbox1.text=""
textbox2.text="" and so on...

but using a for loop...is it possible..?

only if all the textbox's have the same name.... with a different index property. This is called a control array. Click a textbox on the form, right click it and choose copy. Then on the form, right click and choose paste. You'll be told there is already a control with the same name, and then it will ask you if you want a control array. Tell it yes. Then you can loop through them all.

Hi Marlon,

I am not very sure but i think i've done before. Please verify the syntax but the logic is somewhat like this:

for each control in form.controls
if typename(control.name ) = "textbox" then
control =""
end if
next

Hope it help kabayan..

[marlonism]

thank you very much sir...one question pls...in Database why do other programmers used so many connections and recordsets..why?

[nedwards]

That is a general question, but it would depend on how many databases you were connecting to, and sometimes programmers like one connection per table or multiple queries. It just depends on what you are doing. Hopefully that helps.
