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:

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
