Hi,
I think u r trying to create a checkbox on runtime and give it the name stored in variable b. if so below is the code to do it:

 Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
    Dim a As CheckBox
    Dim b As String
 
    b = "check1"
 
    Set a = Controls.Add("VB.CheckBox", b)
 
    With a
        .Visible = True
        .Caption = b
        .Top = 50
        .Left = 50
    End With
 
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim a As CheckBox
    Dim b As String
    
    b = "check1"
    
    Set a = Controls.Add("VB.CheckBox", b)
    
    With a
        .Visible = True
        .Caption = b
        .Top = 50
        .Left = 50
    End With

End Sub

It is never about the number of languages you know, you either have the logic of programming or you don't ...

Some of the codes I post are collected from different sites during the past couple of years, so I would like to thank them for their help and for enabling me to help.
