>I have a question about gathering names in developer mode. I made a builder that creates arrays and SQL statements for validation or lookups. The SQL statement will be built with any number of where clauses based on user’s input. To simply the SQL statement, the builder creates MVs that contain the ‘where’ logic and this mv is then evaluated in the SQL statement with the & operator.

You can drill down through controls on a form and collect whatever information you want. This article contains code that does it:

Look at the section titled "Building a list of controls."
