Hi,

I created an Access-like forms manager for Excel.
I'm using the control's tag as an identifier for field's handling.
Actually I've 9 xlsm files, with 40+ forms in total and each form with about 20+ controls.

I need to list every control's form/name/tag of all file forms while unloaded, in VBE's immediate window.

This is as far as I can go now, and last line is where I'm stuck:

Rich (BB code):
    For Each cpn In Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents
        If cpn.Type = 3 Then
'           For Each prp In Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(cpn.Name).Properties
'               Debug.Print "   " & prp.Name
'               Next
           For Each ctl In Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(cpn.Name).Properties("controls")


I already tried ...Properties("controls")(1).name but it only shows "Count"
and ...Properties("controls")(1).value shows the count of controls, instead the control's first property.
I also tried set frm = Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(cpn.Name) after the "if", but no luck

I've several files, so I'm looking for a dynamic solution, instead hardcoding every form's name.
I've been googling for hours, but find no
I hope you can help me, thank you in advance.

kr,
César.
