But when seen on the debugger the DE is not inside the objects collection, so during the loop I get an error when I get to the last element, the strange thing is that I get "Objects is not an array again", instead of an out of bounds error. There's no problem using ThisForm.Objects[i] to reference individual objects.

You can use the ControlCount property to get what you want with one caveat: ControlCount doesn't ocunt the controls inside other containers. To get a complete count, you'll have to use a recursive method that can deal with nested containers, and do the count yourself. Check out message #257688 for an example of how to write a routine like this. The example is a RunAll method, but you could easily modify it to just count controls.
