You can iterate all the OLE objects as below and identify the textbox you need by textbox name or textbox Text. Instead of Me, you can use worksheet refrence from outside the workbook or any code.

Private Sub GetActiveXControls()

  For Each Item In Me.OLEObjects
    'Debug.Print Item.Name
    If TypeName(Item.Object) = "TextBox" Then
      Debug.Print "text = " & Item.Object.text
    End If
  Next

End Sub
