Using Office 2000, I open Word and in a new document
I insert a Textbox. I then copy and paste it into a worksheet.

I cannot find a way to programmatically refer to it.

Sub Test()
Dim oleObj As OLEObject, rng As Range
For Each oleObj In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets _
("Contract Master Order").OLEObjects
If TypeOf oleObj.Object Is MSForms.TextBox Then
Set rng = oleObj.TopLeftCell
rng.Value = "Bingo"
End If
Next
End Sub

The 'If' statement gives the error:
User defined type not defined

How do I control the Textbox, please?

Try adding a reference to "microsoft forms 2.0 object library"

I'm not sure how this'll work with your Word problem, though.

Thanks for that.
It now runs to the line "For Each etc" and then
immediately jumps to "End Sub"

Regards.

Hi Stuart,

Try:

Sub Test()
Dim myShape As Shape, rng As Range

For Each myShape In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets _
' ("Contract Master Order").Shapes
If myShape.Name Like "Text*" Then
Set rng = myShape.TopLeftCell
rng.Value = "Bingo"
End If
Next
End Sub

Thanks for that.
It steps through without an error, but no values appear
in the textboxes.
Any ideas, please?

Regards.
