Hi there,

I have a few dozen textboxes on a userform, might add a few, might take a few away. Looking to change the backcolor of them all. My first question is: are textboxes counted as controls? So I'm trying to write using the following code - any ideas?

Code:
Dim ctl As MSForms.Control
 
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
    Me.Controls.BackColor = RGB(211, 211, 211)
   'clearly not working here... 
Next ctl

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Code:
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
    If TypeName(ctl) = "TextBox" Then
        ctl.BackColor = RGB(211, 211, 211)
    End If
Next ctl
