Wait I have an idea, use a spreadsheet. They have thousands of text boxes,
even some numeric ones. Ive seen this approach before. Go outside take a
deep breath and rethink the objective. If you feel you still need that many
textboxes walk around abit until a solution becomes apparent.

hi again...
the solution solve my problem,but now i have another :))
imagine..i have:
- textbox1(control source = a1)
- textbox2(control source = a2)
in cell a3 i´ve got =sum(a1:a2),what i want was that
- textbox3(control source = a3), but if i did that i overwrite the function
sum

is possible that i have the textbox3 with the sum value wythout type code,
just link it to a cell.

In the controlsource property, just put the cell string, like A1. If you
want to specify a sheet, then use 'sheet name'!A1

thanks Tom, you helped me a lot but there is a last question...sorry for
that...
how can i make the link between the textbox and the cell...
can i use the controlsource?.....i´ve tried to use it but it gives me an
error... i already use what you suggested me but i can´t update the
textbox
because i can´t link it to the cell...unless i wrote
textbox=cells(x,y),but i
believe there is a way of doing that without code.

thanks again

This methodology can be adapted to textboxes:

None of what you want to do is supported without using events and code.

You can only link to a cell in a sheet to the best of my knowledge. If
you
did that and then linked a cell containing a sum formula to the sum
textbox,
the formula would get overwritten when the value in the cell changed.

I still can't imagine a situation where you would need 1500 textboxes
all
visible at the same time - and if that isn't the requirement (that the
be
visible all at the same time), then there is no requirement for 1500
actual
textboxes. You really need to be more creative in your thinking.

for example, If I had 5 textboxes and 5 labels

iflag = 3
for i = 1 to 5
userform1.Controls("Label" & i).Caption = "Item" & iflag*5 + i
userform1.controls("Textbox" & i).Value = ""
Next

If I wanted to show the form as having the labels for virtual textboxes
1
to 5 I set iflag to 0
for 6 to 10 set iflag to 1
for 11 to 15 set iflag to 2
for 16 to 20 set iflag to 3

Obviously this requires a bit more code and adds some complexity, but
that
complexity is trivial to what you are trying to do. With the above
concept,
I could represent 10, 1500, 3000 virtual textboxes with minimal
additional
work. I understand the labels captions wouldn't be item1 to item1500,
but
you can always have an array with the 1500 unique captions and index
into
the array.

thanks again Bob:
if you remember my previous problem(1.500 textboxes :))) ),let´s
say,input
this code into all the textboxes will be a nightmare !!! but it´s the
only
solution isn´t it?
what i was askinhg, if is there other solution like format the textbox
in
the form open,is there a format property of textbox(like cells format
of
excel)...i don´t think so to :). imagine the nightmare i´m going to
have
to
put this code in all the textboxes .....

the 3) question mean this:
i have a textbox1 and a textbox2...what i want is when i put a value
in
textbox1 the textbox2 must have the same value and either to textbox2
input.....
what i want is something like textbox2=textbox1 but the only way o
know is
the
Private Sub.... Change()
textbox2=textbox1
end sub

is there a way of making this without write code,i tried in the
controlsource but i can´t do it..in other hand i want to make
something
like
this to

textbox1,textbox2,textbox3,this textboxes are all in a frame..... and
i
want
to have a textbox(n) that is the sum of all of them. but in a frame
only
can
do this with the change event, so if i have 2 frames when i jump into
frame2
textbox(n) takes the sum value of all,but if i jump from textbox1 to
textbox2
the textbox(n) does´nt take the sum value............

can you help with this 2 problems.....and once more thank you very
much
Bob

3) What do you mean by '... without the change event code ...'? Why
not
just
set it to the other textbox value?

hello everyone...
i have a few questions about textboxes and the answer is i suspect
simple...
--by code i know the answer but it´s the only option i have for
this?
1) only let the user to insert numbers in a textbox (without code
isnumeric)
2) the textbox must be formated with 2 decimals (without
format(....,"0,00"))
3) 2 textboxes must have the same value so if i input in one of
them
let´s
say the number 5 the other must list 5(without the change event
code)


thanks for any help
Miguel
