This shouldn't be hard, but it's giving me fits.

This code is working well and I'm creating a collection of textbox controls so that I can detect changes on the userform (to prompt a user to save their work).

I want to EXCLUDE one textbox (that I'm using as a search feature) from the collection so that changes are NOT detected when a user begins typing.

I know this should be easy, but I'm stumped. Thanks in advance!

Code:
    Set tbCollection = New Collection

        For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
            
            If TypeOf ctrl Is MSForms.TextBox Then

                Set obj = New ClsFormChanges
                Set obj.ControlTB = ctrl
                tbCollection.Add obj

            End If
            
        Next ctrl

    Set obj = Nothing
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Can you identify the textbox you want to include in some way, perhaps it's name?

If you can then you could use something like this.
Code:
    Set tbCollection = New Collection

        For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
            
            If TypeOf ctrl Is MSForms.TextBox Then

                If ctrl.Name <> "NameOfTextBoxIWantToExclude" Then
                    Set obj = New ClsFormChanges
                    Set obj.ControlTB = ctrl
                    tbCollection.Add obj
                End If

            End If
            
        Next ctrl

    Set obj = Nothing
