specifying msforms as a qualifier eliminates confusion with controls in
other libraries with the same type name.

Hi All

I would like to clear textboxes on a MultiPage control. The user
chooses to clear textboxes on CURRENT page or ALL pages. My code is
below.

The problem is that Current works, but All doesn't. frmStart (the
whole form) does not pass, and I get a data mismatch error. If I
change the data type in ClearInputs from MSForms.Control to Variant,
it will work, but this seems sloppy to me - I'd like to know the
actual data type to use. I also tried using Control as the data type,
but got same error. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
