I have a select case statement, in which I determine which group of controls
("a", "b", "c", ..."j") I need to update (groups include radiobuttons,
checkboxes, etc.); e.g., group "a" includes cb_a, opt_a1T, opt_a1F, opt_a2T,
opt_A2F, etc.


Without looping through all controls (that would be a lot of extra
searching, with one full loop for each control) I'd like to be able to set
the control references dynamically, e.g.

Select Case
Case "Green"
Use_group = "a"
End Select

Set current_opt = "opt_" & Use_group & "1T" '<<<
current_opt.value = false

Can anyone point me to the correct syntax to directly select a control based
on control name?

Many thanks,
Keith

Use this
OLEObjects(current_opt).object.value

What settings (references, etc) do I need to use OLEObjects?
Thanks!!

Another general update; I think I'm closer, but still no dice-

I have 10 textboxes on userform1 named E1, E2, E3, etc. I want the
textbox.text (E1.text, etc.) to reflect the contents of an array

For z = 1 To 10
CurrObj = "E" & CStr(z) 'control string name
UserForm1.Controls(CurrObj).Text = CStr(EdArray(ShortEd,
z))
Next

I get error 438, object doesn't support this property or method

This is one of several sets of controls I want to update, but if I can get
one working, I can probably work out the rest- I'm just having trouble with
the syntax...

Thanks,
Keith
