using a variable to represent texbox name (activex textbox)

Hi tp724 and welcome to ExcelForum,

Thank you for using CODE TAGS. It is much appreciated.

The following code will display information about all the shapes on the ActiveSheet on Sheet 'Log' in the ActiveWorkbook. Sheet 'Log' will be created if it doesn't already exist. This will display information about Shapes, Forms Controls, and 'Active X' controls.

Please feel free to ask if you have further questions or problems. It is easier to solve a specific problem if you upload a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.
