Hi,

I was wondering how i would reference a textbox in VBA. I can do this no problem with activex textboxes but don't know how to do with a normal one.

I am wanting to use a normal textbox as the activex one is very laggy and takes forever to show the text you're typing.

Many thanks for your help,

Mike

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Sheets("sheet name").Textboxes("text box name") for example.
