hi

I have a userform which has labels,comboboxes, textboxes and
commandbutton.

I have 10 textboxes which are names from textbox1 through to textbox10
is there a way to loop through these. What I want to do is when the
user clicks cancel button it will clear all the values which they have
entered in to textbox 1-10 and then hide the userform.

i tried something like this

'For Each Item In frmmanualentry.Controls '.Item
'
'Item.Value = ""

'Next Item

the problem is it does through all the comboboxes,labels and anythign
on the userform and changes them to blank values.

Hi,

you can add into your loop check for textbox

For Each Item In frmmanualentry.Controls
if item.name like "textbox*" then
item.value = ""
end if
next item

Regards,
Ivan

thanks for the suggestion i tried that but when i step through the code
and I move my mouse over the word Item on the line "FOR each ...." item
is coming up as the value of the textbox,combobox,label etc. so it does
not seem to register it and clear the value.

Dim ix As Integer
For ix = 1 To 10
Me.Controls("Textbox" & ix).Value = ""
Next
