No, here is an example

Dim newButton As msforms.Control
Select Case True
Case chkText.Value
Set newButton = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.Textbox.1")
newButton.Name = "New Textbox"
Case chkButton.Value
Set newButton = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
newButton.Caption = "newCmd"
Case chkCheckbox.Value
Set newButton = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.Checkbox.1")
newButton.Caption = "Another Checkbox"
End Select

With newButton
.Left = 100
.Top = 50
.Visible = True
End With

Is CreateObject used to place a new label or text box onto a form at run
time? All I could find in the examples is how to create applications or
workbooks:
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Thanks in advance,
