In the simplest case, WITH...ENDWITH can help:

WITH thisform.pagefram1.page1.text1
  IF .Value > 2 OR .Value < 0
    ...

  ELSE
    ...

  ENDIF

ENDWITH

More generally, what sometimes happens is you want to run code in, for example, the Text1.Valid(). So what you do is:

* Text1.Valid()

RETURN ThisForm.SomeMethod()

* ThisForm.SomeMethod()
WITH ...
* as above
ENDWITH

Instead, what you can do is pass an "object reference" to ThisForm.SomeMethod, which simplifies your code as follows:

* Text1.Valid()

RETURN ThisForm.SomeMethod(This)

* ThisForm.SomeMethod()
LPARAMETERS ;
  toTextBox

IF toTextBox.Value > 2 ...

* etc.
