On a form with lots of objects it may be difficult to locate the specific object you are looking for. A simple trick for quickly locating a form object is to use the drop down menu at the top of the Property List:
When the Property List for the form is displayed, select the drop down menu at the top of the property list to get a list of all the objects. The form objects are listed in the following format:
VariableName (ObjectName)
Look through the list and find variable or object you are trying to locate and select it which should then highlight the corresponding object on the form.
