Hi Bhavbuti,

is this during design time? You could use some code to loop through all the controls on your form and list out any that match the name you are looking for.

I use code like oX = SYS(1270) to get an object reference to things on forms and then you can check the ox.controls to go through each of the controls and see if the name matches the one you are looking for, then display the "path" to that control.
