I have a textbox in a userform that I want to list the value of the variable that is being processed through a loop, each time the value changes.
I do not want to over write the previous value. I can change the textbox to something else if that helps. Any suggestions?

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I believe what you need to do is to read the value of the textbox initially into a variable then set/change it during the loop and then in the end, set it back to the old value.

something like this pseudo-code:

Code:
oldValue = frmMyForm.tbxMyTextBox.Text

For i = 1 to N
     frmMyForm.tbxMyTextBox.Text = "Whatever Text #" & i
Next i

frmMyForm.tbxMyTextBox.Text = oldValue

If you want a list of the various values the the argument takes, a ListBox would be the way to go


Code:
Dim someVariable as Variant, i as Long

ListBox1.Clear

For i = 1 to 10
    ' calculate someVariable

    ListBox1.AddItem CStr(someVariable)
Next I

Thank you, I am able to add items to the listbox with just ListBox1.AddItem CStr(someVariable), but is it possible to refresh the listbox contents as the loop runs? I want to use it as a sort of progress indicator.
