You can't have controls with the same name on a form even if they are on separate pages.

Why not include the page the controls in some format when naming the controls?

If you want to refer to control on a multipage page via it's parent you can use this.

Dim myText As String

    Me.MultiPage1.Pages(0).Controls("TextBox1").Value
