How can I assign value of a variable as part of control name?

[Nadeem Shahzad]

Hi.

I have ten text boxes in a form named as txt1 - txt10. I want to add all of them to a table but I don't want to use grid. Now the question is that how can I make increment in the name of text boxes using a variable. I have done it in FoxPro but I have not been able to figure a way to do it in VB.

Thanks

in VB 6 you can use the Controls.Add method to dynamically create controls.
dim i as integer
for i = 1 to 10
Controls.Add "txt" & i, ...
next i

Thank you very much for your reply.

Perhaps I couldn't make myself clear. I dont want to add controls. I already have controls on the form now when I am going to add data to table either I can:
Repeat this code for every control

private sub cmd1_click()
mytable.addnew
mytable.fields(1)=txt1.text
mytable.update
end Sub

or

use a for loop to increment control's name
I used the method you specified as:
for i = 1 to 10
mytable.fields(1)="txt"&i
next
This works but instead of adding original text of text boxes "txt 1","txt 2".... is added to table

what is wrong?

I appriciate for your hep

Thanx a lot

ok, you are trying to assign the Text property of textboxes in a control array to the fields of a recordset?


Dim i as Integer
for i = 0 to Controls.Count - 1
If TypeName(Controls(i)) = "TextBox" then
Debug.print Controls(i).Text
' yourRS.fields(i)=controls(i).Text
End If
next i
