Ahem. Uh, yes, that should have been the "other Right"...

If Left(myCtrl.Name, 3) < "cmd" Then myCtrl.Locked = True

You can loop through the controls collection on your form. If you've
followed a good naming convention (i.e. command buttons are named something
like cmdName) then snippet below would work:

Sub LockControls()

Dim myCtrl as Control

For Each myCtrl in me.Controls
If Right(myCtrl.Name, 3) < "cmd" Then myCtrl.Locked = True
Next myCtrl

End Sub

Hello,
I have a user form with several text, combo and checkboxes, as well as
command buttons.
I would like for the user to check a check box and lock all txt,cmb and chk
boxes in the form once they are entering the data, but I want to keep the cmd
buttons enabled, so I do not need to lock the whole userform.

I would like to see if there is a way to do this in a "batch", for example
If chkbox1= True then "All txtboxes".Locked=True
I would hate to name every single one.

Thank you
