FWIW, you don't have to use macro expansion in VFP for this either. Look at the SetAll() method, and the Controls[] collection. You can also use eval()

for i = 1 to 10
   lcName = "thisform.text" + alltrim( str(i) )
   loObject = eval( lcName )
   with loObject
      .Enabled = .t.
   endwith
endfor

I don't use VB but I do think it has a Controls[] collection like VFP does.
