Referring to a control with a variable

[rplant]

Does anyone know how to refer to the name of a text box with a variable?

Here is an example of what I need:

If a text box is named txtRate and
strTest = "txtrate"

I want to be able to refer to the control using the string:
me.[strTest].value = whatever

Hi!

You can do it like this:

Me.Controls(strTest).Value = whatever
