Here's what I'm trying to do.
Set a custom document property ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("_DOCPROPNAME") the name of a listbox (Listbox1).
Code:
ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("_DOCPROPNAME") = "LISTBOX1"

Then when trying to refer to the listbox from a worksheet use
Code:
Userform1."ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("_DOCPROPNAME")"

I know this will not work, but is something like this possible?

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
You need something like:
Code:
Userform1.Controls(ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("_DOCPROPNAME"))
or:
Code:
CallByName(Userform1, ThisWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("_DOCPROPNAME"), VbGet)
