Default Building a String based on Selected Check boxes

That's brilliant,

A couple more reads of it and checking the syntax for bits and I've got it.
Thanks a lot.

Neily,

Yes, it will work, as long as your naming convention is consistently
applied.

Hi Bernie,

Thanks for this. Will this work even with though I have other controls on
the form. It looks like it counts the number of Controls on the form to
create the For Loop, but then there is a Button and a couple of labels on

the
form as well.

Ta..

Neily,

Assuming that your checkbox names all start with "Check", they are on
Userform1, and their captions are what you are interested in:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim myStr As String

myStr = ""

For i = 0 To UserForm1.Controls.Count - 1
If Left(UserForm1.Controls.Item(i).Name, 5) = "Check" Then
If UserForm1.Controls.Item(i) Then
If myStr = "" Then
myStr = "'" & UserForm1.Controls.Item(i).Caption & "'"
Else
myStr = myStr & ",'" & _
UserForm1.Controls.Item(i).Caption & "'"
End If
End If
End If
Next i

MsgBox myStr

End Sub

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help here coz I'm pretty sure this is possible

by
I'm
at a dead end.

I have a UserForm which dynamically creates a set of Check boxes based

on
the number of teams in a department. The user should then select what
teams
they wish to use and then once they push an OK button, the Code should
build
a string putting these teams into appostophies(?sp?) separated by

commas

eg. 'team1','team2','team3'

Where I got to was I got the form to create the check boxes and set

their
NAME property to the team name, then I thought I might be able to loop
through the checkboxes, if they are checked, add that team into the
string,
but I can't dynamically reference the checkboxes.

Anyway, if anyone can offer advise, I'd be very appreciative.

Ta.
