Before I re-invent the wheel here, does anyone have a method they use to document the types and names of the controls on their forms as well as the Properties of those controls? I started to loop through objControls to get names and types, but am coming up short on syntax to loop through properties. Thank you in advance!

The problem is that there isn't an easy way to "loop" through the properties. You could use

Select Case TypeName(objControl)
Case "TextBox"
    ' hard code specific properties for TextBox
Case "Button"
    ' hard code specific properties for Button
End Select
 
' now handle all generic properties that apply to all controls
' etc...

It is were me, I'd do it outside in .NET, gen a interop library for the SlxControls.ocx and then reflect the properties. That'd be the way to do it.

Ryan, Thanks for the help. As it turns out it may be a moot point: as an example, the bound fields show as blank (objControls(2).text = ""). May just be one of those " you can't get there from here" issues.
