I've created a form with Label names as follows:

lblCard1
lblCard2
lblCard3
etc.

I want to create a For Next loop that'll append the "next" number to the property name of a label for the purposes of changing the caption.

Here's an example (of what doesn't work):

Code:
Dim lblCard(i) As String
 
for i = 1 to 12
lblCard(i).Caption = "whatever"
next

I can do it with a regular variable name but not property name. I appreciate any help you can offer.

Hi

Try:

Code:
Dim i As Long
 
For i = 1 To 3
    Me.Controls("LblCard" & i).Caption = "Whatever" & i
Next i
