I've gotten into the habit of using the WITH line for the object definition and cutting and pasting the portion as needed:

WITH thisform.txtMyField.WhatEverProperty  

becomes:

WITH thisform.txtMyField
  .WhatEverProperty = "X"

and then hacking off the piece I need and pasting it below. Crude, but I still get Intellisense and nothing else to remember to remove or define.
