'Process' is not a keyword; I just created a sub and named it 
"ProcessDelAndESC" so that loking at the calling code I would have some idea 
what it does.  You can name it anything you like within the rules for 
procedure and variable names.

Thorsten is right that a control array might also work for you; it depends 
on what else you are doing with the controls.  The more they have in common 
the easier a conrol array would make things.

'byval' and 'byref' are important to understand; I typically use ByVal out 
of habit unless I need ByRef or performance is critical.  Either would work 
here and a case can be made that ByRef would be more efficient.

That's fine until you can't find the printed image
