Hello

I'm guessing this isn't allowed but I'd welcome confirmation

Can one concatenate a variable into a VBA command

So for example

instead of userform1. windowsmediaplayer1.controls.currentposition

could you have

userform1. windowsmediaplayer & ("range a1") & .controls.currentposition

If so what would the correct syntax be?

Many thanks

In WHICH group do you want an answer?

Try something like this...

UserForm1.Controls("WindowsMediaPlayer" &
Range("A1").Value).Controls.currentPosition

Note: That should all be on one line but I expect newsreaders will wrap the
text because of its length.
