Yes, in that it is doable.

I'd suggest you start by looking at the Controls collection of the Form object - it should allow you to reference controls as myForm.Controls[controlName] where controlName is a string value.

From there, it should be simple.

if you want to cycle through the controls on a form, something like this might work:-

Dim ctrl As Control

For Each ctrl In Form1.Controls
If TypeName(ctrl) = "TextBox" Then
With ctrl
.Text= "hi"
End With
End If
Next ctrl
