Control collection value returned in debug or print

[STPMB]

Can someone explain what the value is that is being returned from a controls colletions when I debug the variable assigned as a control.

for instance when reading through the controls on a form
I declared variable actl as control but when debugging or printing the variable actl it returns values that I don't know are from where.

If you used
Debug.Print actl
then you got whatever is in the Default parameter, .text for textbox, .caption for label etc.

Are you trying to figure out to which control your variable is currently assigned? If so, just say

?actl.Name

in your debug window.
