Loop through controls on Page_Load event

I'm trying to loop through the 6 server controls I have on my asp page durin
g the Page_Load event. Why don't the controls show up in the Controls colle
ction? I realize that the controls are not rendered at this point, but ther
e must be a way to loop thr
ough them. Here the code I have tried. When I do a count on the controls c
ollection it is 3 even though I have six.
Private Sub Page_Load(...)
Dim oControl as Control
For each oControl in Me.Controls
if oControl.ID = "txtAcct" then
'do some
end if
Next
End Sub
Thanks,
KentYou might want to change your For Each loop to this:
For each oControl in Me.Controls(1).Controls
if oControl.ID = "txtAcct" then
'do some
end if
Next
You also might want to look at the FindControl method.

Are all of your 6 controls direct children of the page? Or only 3 of them
and the other are nested? Controls collection includes only direct children

Some of the controls might be container for additional controls. Take

Andy,
Thanks your solution worked :
For Each oControl in me.controls(1).controls
'do stuff
next
Also thanks to everyone who responded
