Variable Name for TextBox

Need to assign a variable name to a TextBox or CheckBox.
A form with 30 TextBoxes (txtFirstName1, txtFirstName2,... txtLastName1, etc.) requires a line of code to get values, set values, set formats etc. for each TextBox. By having a variable name like FirstName(1), FirstName(2), etc. a For/Next or other loop could be used to simplify the code. VBA won't allow parenthesis in the assigned TextBox name.
Are there other options to handle the code for 30 TextBoxes other than individually?
Thanks,
JWoller
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
You can loop through them if that's any help:-
Code:
  For i = 1 To 30
    Controls.Item("txtFirstName" & i) = "This is txtFirstName" & i
  Next i
