Hi all.
I have a form with 47 fields
I have a loop that performs some calculations 47 times and need to display the results in every one of the fields sequentially.
Is there some way to substitute the "THISFORM.ObjectName" with a variable that increases +1 in each pass?
My text fields are named Text1 through Text47.
So I tried something like this (abreviated here):

xCount=1
DO WHILE xCount<48
xText="Text"+(alltrim(str(xcount)))
THISFORM.xText.value=xCount
xCount=xCount+1
ENDDO

I got (obviously) an error message when reaching the THISFORM line about not finding the xText element.

Is there a possible way around this or will I have to repeat the code for each one of the fields?
TIA for your time
