Linda, you'll also need to add some code in there for container controls, such as Panels and UserControls ... IOW, if you have TextBoxes, CheckBoxes and/or ComboBoxes in a container control on your form, then you'll also have to go through the Controls collection of that Panel or UserControl, or whatever the container control is.

I created a small test form to try to figure this out but I'm not having any luck so far. I can't seem to hit the correct parent property. Any suggestions? Thanks.
