I just want to add another comment that might put light on the matter.
I am actually trying to take input from a user form into cells. Now
basically that is when i get an error. I don' know how to define an already
defined variable (text box)

i have 50 boxes which i need to enter into a table.
i can do cells(3,4)=me.location1.value
cells(4,4)=me.location2.value
cells(5,4)=me.location3.value
up to 50
but that sounds stupid and not effeciant
i am sure there's a way around it.
please help

Jared,
This shows you how to use a dynamic array with Redim. If you will always
require 50 elements use can just use
Dim Locations(1 to 50) As Variant
'or if you have string/numeric values declare as such

Not sure if you really want the first 50 cells of the worksheet, but I added
the debug line so you can see where you are getting values from.

Dim Locations() As Variant
Const MIN_ELEMENT As Long = 1
Const MAX_ELEMENT As Long = 50
Dim i As Long

ReDim Locations(MIN_ELEMENT To MAX_ELEMENT)

For i = MIN_ELEMENT To MAX_ELEMENT
Debug.Print Worksheets(1).Cells(i).Address
Locations(i) = Worksheets(1).Cells(i).Value
Next i
