If you want the value, you need

strValue = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Object.Value

Vince,

My code was

strValue = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Name

not

strValue = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Value

You must learn to paste it from the post, not type it all again <vbg

Thanks Bob, I tried the following:

Dim i as Long

For i = 1 To ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Count
If TypeName(ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Object) = "ListBox" Then
strValue = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Value
End If
Next i

First problem is the If statement never goes true.
Second problem is the line strValue when looked at in the quick watch
window
gives the error: <Object doesn't support this property or method

Any idea what is going on?

Try

For i = 1 To ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Count
If TypeName(ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Object) = "ListBox" Then
Msgbox ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Name
End If
Next i

I have a worksheet with 51 listbox controls on it, Listbox1 -
Listbox51.
I
need to loop through them and get the Value in each one and store it
away.
I
have looked through the questions posted here, and the answer
appears
easy
enough, however, I don't know if I have an Excel problem or
something
else.
For some reason the Me.Controls line of code will not work. When I
am
typing
the line of code, the drop down gives me several properties and
methods to
use for the "Me." but not "Controls".
Can anyone provide some help with this!!

Thank you
Vince
