Is there a way to loop through controls (e.g. vb checkBox) that are o
the worksheet. I know you can do this for the userForm as follows

For Each ctrl In UserForm1.Controls
If TypeName(ctrl) = "CheckBox" Then
MsgBox CheckBox.Text
End If
Next ctrl

Is this possible for an active worksheet

Hope this is what you are after.

Sub erm()

Dim mycntrl As OLEObject
Dim sht As Worksheet

Set sht = ActiveSheet

For Each mycntrl In sht.OLEObjects

MsgBox mycntrl.Name

Next mycntrl


End Sub

If they are forms toolbar checkboxes, then use

Dim ctrl As CheckBox
For Each ctrl In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes
MsgBox ctrl.Name
Next ctrl

I think you have to do it by specific type of control, eg TextBox
