On my form I have a textbox1 control and this code In Form Activate

Code:
action2 Me.TextBox1, "fred"

Sub action2(tb As TextBox, tt As String)
    tb.Text = tt
End Sub

I've tried various things, Inside quotes, with & without "Me" but keep getting Type Mismatch errors.
I can't see why this shouldn't work. Any reason ? Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Try
Code:
Sub action2(tb As MSForms.TextBox, tt As String)

I think TextBox is a shape, MSForms.TextBox is on a userform.

Thank you Mike, that fixed it. Found I had to do the same for labels and images too.
