basically i have a lot of buttons doing an identical job except for one number difference.
ie
preset1
load from preset1
do other things involving the number 1
end sub

preset2
load from preset2
do other things involving the number 2
end sub

my question is whether its possible to have a control name ie preset1 as a variable, so that its a combination of a string and a variable
ie preset = "preset" & a
where preset is a variable and a is a number. then i could do things to the variable such as preset.forecolor=.. or whatever. and then preset would refer to the control needed, ie preset1,preset2 etc.
does this make any sense? sorry if it doesnt
thanks people

Control Array.

Create a command button.
Then copy and paste as many as you want saying yes to control array.

aha - nice and simple.

thanks a lot
