Sarah,

Yes it's 5, in 3 you have to use the appropriate container collection array. But you can do a psuedo for each with 1 line of code which might save a few array refs:

for i = 1 to this.ControlCount
   oControl = this.Controls[i]
   ...
endfor

n = 1
>>for each oCoontrol in this.Controls
>>   if ( "cbo" $ oControl.Name )
>>      dimension this.maPairing[n,3]
>>      n = n + 1
>>      this.maPairing[n,1] = oControl
>>   endif
>>endfor
