' Name: Access - update form controls
' Description:This code snippet itterates over open forms in an Access DB allowing you to easily set properties of controls programmatically.

' Assumes:This only iterates through open forms. To use this simply open all the forms you want to edit, paste this code into a module, and call it from the immediate window.
Possible uses are:
 Change any property of a certain type of control
 Rename controls
I created this because I had a DB where all the controls names where all caps. I used this to automatically rename all controls to initial caps. Then later in the project I used it to turn off autocorrect for all text and combo controls. Very usefull so I thought I would post it.
