ControlType Property

[Guest]

Why is it when you declare a variable as a Control, say for the purpose of
looping through all the controls on a form - the property ControlType does
not show in the drop down of available methods and properties although it is
valid and does work? I haven't tried other versions of Access besides Access
2000. I even turned on Show Hidden Members under browse objects thinking it
might show up then.

Just curious.

keep to themselves...
(gives them an egde I guesss)

The ControlType property is a property of a specific control type not
the generic Control object. It's all a matter of reference and scope.

Thanks! That was not readily clear to me but it makes sense now.
