TextBox help
Short question first.
Is there anyway to change/assign a number to a TextBox? Why I am asking: I am creating an automated form which will be filled in using VBA. I will be using VBA to fill in among other things, place a X within a series of TextBoxes. I am using TextBoxes to create squares to answer a series of Yes, No, Sometimes questions. There are about 140 of these TextBoxes. The TextBoxes number do not seem to fall in order so I am left to recording a macro selecting the TextBox so I can get its number. This is very time consuming. |

TextBox help
Patrick:
Are you talking about a text form field (from the Forms toolbar) or a text box control (from the Controls toolbar)? If so, you can assign whatever identifiers you want to them, either numbers or text that will help you remember what they represent. The text form field bookmark can act as the index in VBA. For example, Activedocument.FormFields("Text1").Range.Select The text box control can be named however you like using the Properties dialog box. It becomes an object in ThisDocument, and you can add code relating to each event for the text box there. Bear |
