shorter method than elseif

Hi
I have a form where user will select a variable number of safety hazards by
picture for each record the picture will have a path name which needs to go
into a textbox on form. there can be upto 10 pictures per record choosen from
20 or more pictures
i have started to write an else if statement but it is very long winded as
can see below which runs on click of button the check box picures text are
all in subform to mainform
I thought about using array or tab control but not sure how to do this

Thank you
Tina

I'll ignore the fact that your design appears to have repeating groups in
it, which is normally a sign of improper normalization. However, have you
considered using more meaning names for your controls?
