    Solved: Removing Controls on the Fly

    I am using this code to add a control on the fly:

    [VBA]RNM = "ReportName"
    LBL = "ReportLabel"
    Email.Controls.Add bstrProgId:="Forms.Label.1", Name:=RNM, Visible:=True
    Email.Controls(RNM).Top = 70
    Email.Controls(RNM).Left = 6
    Email.Controls(RNM).Height = 30
    Email.Controls(RNM).Width = 150
    Email.Controls(RNM).Caption = "What do you want to name the file?"
    Email.Controls(RNM).Font.Bold = True
    [/VBA]

    However, I can't figure out how to remove the same control on the fly.

    I tried that and
    [VBA]email.controls(RNM).Remove[/VBA]

    neither one works. Also adding the form is in one control_Click. and removing the control is in a different control_click.

    I would also like to test if the control exists before I add it?

    Djblois,
    Are you adding the controls to a userform or a worksheet?
    The most difficult errors to resolve are the one's you know you didn't make.

    I am adding them to a userform. That part works correctly. However, I can't remove them and I would like to test if they are there already before I add them.

    Djblois,
    Here's the code revisions you need.

    To check to see if the control exists before adding.

    [VBA]
    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim c As Control, F As Boolean
    rnm = "ReportName"
    LBL = "ReportLabel"
    F = False
    For Each c In Me.Controls
    If c.Name = rmn Then
    F = True
    End If
    Next c
    If F = False Then
    Email.Controls.Add bstrProgId:="Forms.Label.1", Name:=rnm, Visible:=True
    Email.Controls(rnm).Top = 70
    Email.Controls(rnm).Left = 6
    Email.Controls(rnm).Height = 30
    Email.Controls(rnm).Width = 150
    Email.Controls(rnm).Caption = "What do you want to name the file?"
    Email.Controls(rnm).Font.Bold = True
    Else
    'Not sure what you want to do here
    End If
    End Sub
    [/VBA]

    To remove an existing control

    [VBA]
    Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    Email.Controls.Remove "ReportName"
    End Sub

    [/VBA]
