Hello,

I would like to see if it is possible to control the addition of Labels and text boxes based on a button click to my multipage object on my form. My initial thought was to use a case statement that would count the button clicks and add the labels and text boxes as needed. However, if I loop it of course I get all the labels and texts boxes at one time if I don't loop it I only get the one case for which the label and text box condition is true (resulting in only one Label and Textbox being created). Below is the code I am working with. Please let me know if there is a possible solution that I can add my these objects during runtime based on a button click.

The following is the image of my form and below that is the code. I feel like it could be as simple as properly declaring my variables correctly. I have thought of some work arounds but I would like to attempt to make this as concise as possible.

Thanks
Aholts

Code:
Private Sub CmdBtn_AddNewGroup_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim BClicks As Integer

BClicks  = 1
i = 1
For BClicks  = 1 To 10


Select Case BClicks


Case 1
' Draw the labels
Set NewUnitGrpLbl = MultiPage1.Pages(1).Controls.Add("Forms.label.1")


With NewUnitGrpLbl
    .Top = 118
    .Left = 18
    .Height = 18
    .Name = "LBL_UnitGroup" & i + 1
    .Caption = "Unit Group " & i + 1
End With


Set NewNumOfUnits = MultiPage1.Pages(1).Controls.Add("Forms.label.1")


With NewNumOfUnits
    .Width = 114
    .Top = 146
    .Left = 24
    .Height = 18
    .Width = 114
    .Name = "LBL_NumOfUnits" & i + 1
    .Caption = "Number of Units in Group:"
