Forms Substitution Within A Loop

[lhooker]

How can I substitute "A1" in a "Forms" statement within a loop (as shown below) to move to the next textbox in a form.

Dim strAs As String
Dim Counter As Integer
Counter = 0

Do Until Counter = 30
Counter = Counter + 1
varX = DLookup("Question" & Counter, "Answers_Horizontal")
strAs = "[" & "A" & Counter & "]
"[Forms]![Form_Questions]!" & strAs & " = varX"
Loop


This is the original syntax ===> [Forms]![Form_Questions]![A1] = varX
I do not want create thirty (30) "Forms" statements.

Why not respond back to the original thread you made for this:

Variable For "Forms" Statement

How can I make [A1] an acceptable varible that will be allowed with the below "Forms" statement ? That is make [A1] change to [A2], [A3 , [A4], [A5], [A6] . . . etc. [Forms]![Form_Questions]![A1] = varX I tried the statement below, but it did not work. Counter = 1 Do While Counter

People had given advice.

Again. Dot notation not bang.

I did already . . . I used the EXCEL 'Transpose' feature.

maybe try:

Do Until Counter = 30
    Counter = Counter + 1
    varX = DLookup("Question" & Counter, "Answers_Horizontal")
    strAs = "A" & Counter
    Forms("Questions").Controls(strAs) = varX
Loop

No. Explained here.

Explains that only variable references can be used in Dot. @arnelgp is demoing using Dot. My previous thread did the same.
