Gerry,

I don't know if this was a typo in your message, but I don't think you should have two periods before your macro sub. I understand the two periods after (one to terminate the macro, one to seperate the object from its property.

If you use a naming convention for your controls you should be able to do something like this:

FOR nFldCntr = 1 TO ALEN(nFluids)  && max of 14 for now
  cTxtBoxTarget = "txtFLUIDS" + ALLTRIM(STR(nFldCntr))
  cLabelTarget = "lblFLUIDS" + ALLTRIM(STR(nFldCntr))
  THIS.&cFldTarget..CAPTION = "Test for label"
  THIS.&cLabelTarget..VALUE = "Test for textbox"
ENDFOR

I'm not sure if this answers what you're asking, but I hope it helps :)
