Hello everyone,

I have a workbook that keeps growing in complexity; I recently attempted to add a new textbox to a userform and received an error > Ambiguous Name <. I'm able to add any other control i wish. I really need to add a additional textbox. I also attempted to paste a textbox into the userform. which resulted in the error > Could not paste the control, Ambiguous Name < Any Ideas ?
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Yes. Ambiguous Name means you've already got a control with that name and we're not allowed to have any controls with duplicate names.
You can go through all your controls in the userform and see if that's the case. (Or just rename the new control to a name you know is not already in use.)

Hope it helps.
