OLEObjects
 

Hello I have a larger version of this

Set controls = Sheet1.OLEObjects
for each control in controls
control.value = "Test"
next control


Having a problem where I can't find the property/method to change the value
of the control object, as it appears a OLEObject does not contain a
method/prop called Value.

Just wondering how I can assign a value to a control like this?

All the controls on my sheet 1 are Control Textboxes, and I'm using Excel
2003.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

OLEObjects
 

Try

Set controls = Sheet1.OLEObjects
for each control in controls.Object
control.value = "Test"
next control

Unfortunetly I get a "Object does not support this property or method" error.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Actually ignore my last thread,

although it didn't work that way, it did work this way

For each control in controls
control.Object.value = "Test"
next control

Thank you very much! :) Little confused why I have to refer to object within
control instead of just .value so if you can explain that'd be grand, but
thanks anyways.

The OLEObject can be considered a container for the actual control.
