>I have 61 text boxes on a pageframe and want to change them to the "xpcontrol" type text box found on this site. However, I want to keep the properties which are unique to each text box intact. Is there a quick way to do this instead of using form designer to redraw each one and then change the properties of the new textbox to match the one that it is replacing? Thanks.

You can "hack" the form file.
USE MyForm.scx
BROWSE
search for the textboxes, and change the properties.

Before trying this, 'tis better to make a backup of your form, in case you ruin it.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
