Try it this way...

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim N As Long
For N = 1 To Range("List").Count
Me.Controls("CommandButton" & N).Caption = _
Range("List").Cells(N, 1).Value
Next
End Sub

I have a Userform that is initiated by user selection of certain cells, and
I
need to display a number of CommandButtons corresponding to the length of
a
list associated with the user selection. My form has the maximum number
of
buttons I ever expect, and a macro sizes it to display only those needed.
Im looking for a simple loop to add captions from the list, but I dont
see
any way to index the button reference in a loop. What Im trying to do:

For n = 1 to List Count
CommandButtonn.Caption = Range(€œList€�).Offset( n, 0)
Next

Obviously that wont work, so I seem to be headed for a brute force
method.
Is there a more elegant way?
