I'm trying to set up an array of labels on a form at runtime.
The size of the array is determined from a textbox input at the top of the
form.
The sort of thing I want is like a blank crossword grid, where I can adjust
the caption in each label later to be 1 letter.
I've tried to copy a label and then paste it, but VBA doesn't allow this.
Has anyone any suggestions on how to achieve this?

TIA
Henry

Try something like the following. Change the various properties
to meet your needs.

Dim Ctrl As MSForms.Control
Set Ctrl = UserForm1.Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1", "Label1",
True)
Ctrl.Height = 10
Ctrl.Width = 10
Ctrl.Top = 10
Ctrl.Left = 10
Ctrl.Caption = "A"
UserForm1.Show

Thanks Chip,

The Label takes on the default colours of the form.
All I need now is to change the backcolor, forecolor and border for it to be
as I want.
(White, Black and a black border)
I cannot seem to change them from VBA like a normal Label.

Use the ForeColor and BackColor properties of the Ctrl object.

Ctrl.ForeColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Ctrl.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)

I'm not sure I understand your problem... but you can try to fill in the
textbox_change() event with some code to do the rest...
