I am currently setting properties for a number of form controls based on
conditions in a worksheet. I've labeled the form controls using numeric
values in the hopes that there may be some way to programmatically reference
them (as with INDIRECT) and reduce the amount of code.

Here is a sample of the code used so far (I've snipped out middle sections
to reduce size in this example):


If Range("T21").Value 0 Then
'Prep OtherEntry form
frmOtherEntry.fr1.Enabled = (Range("F21").Value 0)
frmOtherEntry.fr2.Enabled = (Range("G21").Value 0)

If you could put the control name in an adjacent cell, say E, you could use
code like

If Range("T21").Value 0 Then
'Prep OtherEntry form
For i = 1 To 4
Me.Controls(Cells(20 + i, "E").Value).Enabled = (Cells(i + 20,
"F").Value 0)
Next i
End If

fr1 - fr10 are frames in the user form OtherEntry
lbl1-lbl10 are labels with the respective frames

My question is: Is there a way to reference the form controls so that I
could use some form of For-Next loop to set their values relative to those
cell values in the workbook?

Hi

No, Labels are not by default members of a Labels collection, Textboxes are
not members of another Textboxes collection. They are all "controls".

You can create new collections and put all labels into one custom Labels
collection though. That takes about as much coding as you already have,
maybe more, so if your goal is less typing then forget it. But if you
frequently loop all 160 textboxes on a form for multiple purposes then it's
a good idea to do. Post back for code samples if so.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Tom's suggestion was exactly what I was looking for (i.e., "With
frmOtherEntry... .Controls(controlname&number) ).

Bob Phillip's suggestion (i.e. "Me.Controls(...)) The Me keyword is
apparently only available when used with a class module, which my code isn't.

Thanks, Tom.
