Hi Richard
In general, it is better practice to rename the controls yourself and then
adress the control by its name iso by index.
another way is to create your controls at run time and record their name
in an array.

Thanks Jean, (and Bob earlier),

The only reason I was using the index number was that I did domething
different with the first eight listed checkboxes than with the rest. I
was using a simple Select statement assuming I could rely on the
control index number as the Select Case i.e. Case<8. I now see I can't
and will follow the advice you suggest.

Incidentally, is it possible to see a control index number directly,
or can this only be done by writing a bit of code to identify the
control name of each control index number?

Incidentally2. Are control index numbers always base zero?
