having some trouble building the array. this will loop through about 50 items.
if the checkbox is true, it returns the value of the corresponding text box. it
works the fist time it finds a checkbox, but not when it finds the next one.
intellisense says subscript out of range.


For i = 1 To lastEMP
If Me.Controls("CheckBox" & i) = True Then
n = n + 1
ReDim Preserve arr(1 To n)
arr(n) = Me.Controls("textbox" & i).Value
End If

Next i

Gary,
Not too difficult.. you'll need to declare the array with no
constraints in the parenthesis first
Each time in your loop you need the statement "Redim Preserve" prior to
making the variable assignment.. see example below.
-------------
Option Base 1
Dim myArray() As String
Dim y As Integer
Dim msg As String

Sub redim_myArray()
msg = "myArray"
For y = 1 To 20
ReDim Preserve myArray(1 To y)
myArray(y) = Cells(y, 1).Value
msg = msg & vbCrLf & y & " " & myArray(y)

Next

MsgBox (msg)

End Sub

ReDim Preserve myArray(1 To y)

what is the syntax for creating an array while running a for next loop?

let's say the array is called arr, the string to add is called sStr. there
could
be up to 50 elements.

thanks
