    How to modify an object on another form?

    Hello there!

    Well I'm mainly working on Excel VB. What I'm trying to do is do a "setup" type deal with one form, so if you enter a new name into a textbox, it'll change the caption on a checkbox on another form.

    Now I know to modify an excel spreadsheet's tab name is to go
    ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(SheetName).Name

    How do I modify a form within the same workbook?

    Thank you

    Thread moved to 'Office Development/VBA' forum... note that while it certainly isn't made clear, the "VB Editor" in Office programs is actually VBA rather than VB, so the 'VB6' forum is not really apt

    try like
    userform66.checkbox1.caption = textbox4
    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
