    Resolved (Resolved) Ideas on quicker way to create forms with many fields

    Hello all,
    Wondering if anyone has ideas on how to generate code for controls for forms with many fields.
    These are for applications where the VB form needs to simulate an existing paper form with, say 50 fields on it; let's say they are checkbox items.
    As you know, it is a tedious process to create this in the VS IDE: placing each checkbox on the form and entering the desired text for it as well as renaming it.
    It would be nice if there was some kind of utility that could (say) take an Excel spreadsheet in with (say) two columns: CheckboxName and CheckboxText, and generate all or part of the code to create a VB form containing those checkboxes.
    Any ideas?
