Forgive me about the title, I have no idea what this is called.
I have a MS Access database set up, with a Period
field that has either values 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. I retrieve these values using a database connection and I would like to reference a particular control based on what period was grabbed from the database.
Here's example code, pseudo of course.
TextBox(dr(3)).Text = dr(0)
dr(3)
contains the period, and dr(0) contains the content I would like to put into the text box. I have these text boxes on my form: TextBox1
, TextBox2
, TextBox3
, TextBox4
and TextBox5
.
So if dr(3)
contained 2
then I would want to reference TextBox2
.
I hope I've made myself clear, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. :)
