updating textbox.text in a tabpage - vb.net-2010

Question

I've got an app with numerous textboxes that's basically a form to fill out. There are several tabpages in a tab control. In saving the data, I simply loop through the textboxes, get their names and text and put that in a text file with a '|' as a seperator. That works great and I can see all my textboxes and the data in the text file. Now comes the problem. When I read the file back (to load saved data back into the form) it loops through the control name and changes the text to whatever was in the file. It works fine with the textboxes that are on the form, but fails when it gets to the first textbox that is on a tabpage. How can I fix that? And if there's a better way to save the data, I'm all ears.
Here's the code that writes the file:
Private Sub savefile(file As String)
Dim ctl As Control = Me
Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriter
sw = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(file, False)
Do
ctl = Me.GetNextControl(ctl, True)
If ctl IsNot Nothing Then
If TypeOf ctl Is TextBox Then
sw.WriteLine(ctl.Name.ToString.Substring(3) & "|" & ctl.Text)
End If
End If
Loop Until ctl Is Nothing
sw.Close()
End Sub
Here's the code that reads the file and updates the textboxes:
Private Sub ReadFile(filename)
Dim strfilename As String = filename
Dim num_rows, x, y As Integer
Dim strarray(1, 1) As String
Dim ctrl As Control = Me
'Check if file exist
If File.Exists(strfilename) Then
Dim tmpstream As StreamReader = File.OpenText(strfilename)
Dim strrecords() As String
Dim strfields() As String
'Load content of file to strLines array
strrecords = tmpstream.ReadToEnd().Split(vbCrLf)
' Redimension the array.
num_rows = UBound(strrecords)
ReDim strarray(num_rows, 2)
' Copy the data into the array.
For x = 0 To num_rows - 1
strfields = strrecords(x).Split("|")
For y = 0 To 1
strarray(x, y) = strfields(y)
Next
Next
' Display the data in listbox
For x = 0 To num_rows - 1
Dim tbxname As String = strarray(x, 0)
tbxname = Remove(tbxname) 'routine that removes invisible characters
tbxname = "tbx" & tbxname
MsgBox(tbxname) 'used to verify each file and which one fails
Me.Controls(tbxname).Text = strarray(x, 1)
Next
Else : MsgBox("File doesn't exist!")
End If
End Sub
I hope that's enough information. Thanks in advance for any help!!

I think the line Me.Controls(tbxname).text = strarray(x,1) does not address your TextBox in your tab control, you may need to find out how to address your textbox in the tab page.
Something like
Me.TabControl1.TabPages(0).Controls(tbxname).text = starray(x,1)
