Timothy- just use the loop to figure out the number of the form, and then, outside the loop, you can use that subscript to reference the form for whatever properties/values you need to retrieve.
For nLoop=1 to _screen.FormCount
If _screen.Forms(nLoop).Name="Form1" && I hope you use unique form names
formnumber = nloop
endif
cnewvalue = _screen.forms(formnumber).textbox1.value
canothervalue = _screen.forms(formnumber).textbox2.value
