User variable to get object value
 

Can you use a variable to return the vaule of an object in a form.

Example:

vCheckbox = "Me.Checkbox.12"

MsgBox vCheckbox

it gives me Me.CheckBox.12 when what I am looking for is True or False

Thank you,

Steven

I think you want:

Dim vCheckbox as boolean
vCheckbox = me.checkbox12.value

Thank you for the response:

What I have is 15 checkboxes... CheckBox11 to CheckBox 25

Based on certain criteria will determine which checkbox I want the value of:

I would like to do it using the number 11 to 25 as a variable and then
creating a string for like

vCkBox = "Me.CheckBox " + vNumber
MsgBox vCkBox.Value

or something like that.

Thank you, Steven
