Brian,

The form has a Controls[] collection that you can use to iterate through the controls. You could also put all the controls into a Container class and just set the Container.Enabled.

> ThisForm.txtAuxname[x].Enabled = .T.

>But I keep getting an error "TXTAUXNAME" not found. Why is it not adding the value of [x] on the end and using the intended object name?

Your syntax is treating txtAuxname as an array property.

You could avoid macros with:

for i = 1 to 17
   lcControl = "txtAuxname" + alltrim(str(i))
   loControl = eval( lcControl )
   with loControl
      .Enabled = .f.
   endwith
