Exercise: Access form - looping over controls

A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!

1)	Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-417.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it).
2)	Consider the form called Results:
	Clearly Chelsea would not normally lose like this ...
3)	In a separate module, write a macro which: Opens the form called Results in design view (use DoCmd.OpenForm) Sets an object variable to refer to this form Loops over all of the controls in this form, deciding for each whether it is a label, a textbox or something else, and adding 1 to the appropriate total Writes out the final statistics
4)	The output from your macro should look like this:
	The 2 other controls are actually combo boxes
To find the type of a control, use a command like: IF TypeOf c Is TextBox THEN
5)	Run your macro to check it works!
