Ayo,

In VB/VBA, both halves of an AND statement are evaluated. This means that
the second half is evaluated even if the first half is False. Therefore,

Left(ctl.Text, 2) = cmbDrive.Text

is evaluated even if

TypeName(ctl) = "TextBox"

is False.

Thus, if ctl is not a textbox (or another control that has a Text property),
you'll get the error when attempting to read the Text property of ctl.

Instead of AND, use

If TypeName(ctl) = "TextBox" Then
If Left(ctl.Text,2) = cmbDrive.Text Then


This ensures that ctl is a TextBox prior to checking the Text property.
