Hi there I'm having some difficulty creating an array that contains the name of a bunch of activex checkboxes that are on an excel spreadsheet. The error I get says type mismatch and highlights the & symbol. I want to make a list of checkboxes so I can use a for loop instead of writing out each checkbox code individually. Here is what part of my code looks like. If my code doesn't make sense I want Time(0) = ThirteenJan

Dim Month(0 To 11) As String
Dim Year(0 To 3) As String
Dim Time(0 To 47) As CheckBox
Dim i, j, k, l, m As Integer


'The initial values of the months were named such because that is how the buttons have been named
'Initial Values
Month(0) = "Jan"
Month(1) = "Feb"
Month(2) = "Mar"
Month(3) = "Apr"
Month(4) = "May"
Month(5) = "Jun"
Month(6) = "Jul"
Month(7) = "Aug"
Month(8) = "Sep"
Month(9) = "Oct"
Month(10) = "Nov"
Month(11) = "Dec"


Year(0) = "Thirteen"
Year(1) = "Fourteen"
Year(2) = "Fifteen"
Year(3) = "Sixteen"


k = 0


'I can't get the following code to work and I'm not sure what's wrong with it. It says type mismatch and highlights the &.
'Create an array that has all the names of the checkboxes in each element of it
For i = 0 To 3
For j = 0 To 11
Set Time(k) = Year(i) & Month(j)
k = k + 1
Next j
k = k + 1
Next i


k = 4
l = 18


For i = LBound(Time) To UBound(Time)
'j loops through worksheets, the summary sheets are organized differently than the rest of the workbook so they have to have their own code
For j = 2 To 3
'k loops through the columns, 54 is Column BB
If k = 16 Or k = 29 Or k = 42 Then
k = k + 1
End If
If Time(i).Value = True Then
Sheets(j).Columns(k).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Else
Sheets(j).Columns(k).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
Next j
For j = 4 To 9
If l = 30 Or l = 31 Or l = 44 Or l = 45 Or l = 58 Or l = 59 Then
l = l + 1
End If
