    You could implement a function that enumerates the controls and return
    the one that has the name property matching the one you're looking for.

    I don't know if it's granted that the controls are indexed in the same
    order you added them to the form.
    If it's granted, you may change your code in this way:

    for i = 1 to 10
          MyStr(i) = me.controls(IndexOf(firstbutton)+1).text
    next i

    Provided that you added the controls in the right order, of course.

    P.S. this kind of VB-related questions should be posted in vb.net,
    compact-framework or application programming newsgroups where you'll
    find more people that could help you.
