Excel TextBox Control
I have a textbox named "txt_report_date" inserted in a worksheet called "admin"
When this worksheet is active I can populate the textbox value using the me syntax, me.txt_report_date = ... However I would like to set the value of the text box when the workbook opens. Can you please tell me how to reference the text box from the on open event of the workbook. Thanks. |

Qualify the object with a reference to the sheet, eg
ThisWorkbook.Sheet1.txt_report_date ' where sheet1 is the codename But if in any doubt about the sheet and object existing use one of these - ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").txt_report_date etc or even - Dim ole As OLEObject On Error Resume Next Set ole = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("txt_ report_date") On Error GoTo 0 If Not ole Is Nothing Then ole.Object.Value = Format(Now, "dd mmm yyyy") End If Regards, Peter T "James" wrote in message ...
