I have a UserForm with 60 TextBoxes and other controls. I would like to write code that will loop through the TextBoxes and set the value of the TabIndex to be equal to that of the TextBox number so that they can be tabbed through in order. The code will look something like this:



Sub SetTabIndex ()

For i = 1 to 60

InputTable.Control("txt" & i).TabIndex = i - 1

Next i

End Sub



The TextBoxes are named "txt1"-"txt60" and the UserForm is "InputTable"

Is there any way to set the TabIndex using VBA?
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
You could without code:

Open you Userform in VBA and right click it. Choose Tab Order.

From there you can move your Text Boxes up or down to whatever order you desire.

Your code should work as is, just change

InputTable.Control("txt" & i).TabIndex = i - 1

to

InputTable.Controls("txt" & i).TabIndex = i - 1
