Access VBA - How would I have a loop in VBA that allows me to loop through control names

Question

I have about 10 text boxes on a form that are actually used for display not entry. They are are named txt_001_Name, txt_002_Title, etc..what kind o

Answer 1

I prefer to use a FOR EACH to iterate through the controls collection of whatever the textboxes are on (either the form itself or a panel control)

dim myBox as Textbox
For each myBox in myForm
    myBox.Text = "hello"
Next

Also means you can make custom groups (by putting them all on the same container). Note that if you have other controls, you might need a typecheck in there (IF TYPEOF(myBox) = "TextBox" THEN ...)

You could also do it like:

dim i as integer
For i = 1 to 10
     myForm.Controls("txt_00" & i & "_Title").Text = "hello"
Next i

I definitely prefer the For Each, though.
