    Resolve component name at runtime in VBA/Access 2000?

    i am building a helper application that runs custom queries. The problem is, there are like 60 "select" queries and each of them takes time to execute. So now I have put several check boxes which will filter which queries to execute and skip unwanted ones.

    I can name my check boxes with some text and numbers, but since I am noob VBA programmer I am not sure how to make a check box name at runtime and reference the appropriate one.

    If I do it manually I will need to add 60 lines of this

    Code:
    chkbox1.Value = True
    chkBox2.Value = False
    .
    .
    .
    chkBox60.Value = False
    How can I reference my check boxes at run-time with code?

    Code:
    for i = 1 to 60
        if controls("chkbox" & i).value = true then ' do stuff
    next
    is that something like you want?
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Yes this code snippet does the job perfectly:

    Code:
    Dim i as Integer
    Dim checks(10) as Boolean
    ' add values to the array
    for i = 0 to 9
        Me.Controls("chkbox" & i).value = checks(i)
    next i
