Name property of dynamically created textboxes

First a little background information:

I am working on a project in Excel. When you open the file, a userform pops up and asks for input in multiple textboxes. It then puts the input in certain cells in the Excel document. Then another userform pops up, and asks for more input, which is inserted in cells as before. Next, it requests numerical input in textboxes, and this data inserts the respective number of rows under each category in the Excel document.

Now for the problem.

The next thing I want to do is have a userform which dynamically creates a certain number of labels and textboxes based on the numbers inputted by the user in the previous userform. I have already figured out how to bring the variables from one userform to another; now I am having issues with the naming of the dynamically created textboxes. Well, really I know how to name them, but can't figure out how to use the textboxes' .Text attributes as input to cells in the Excel document. I have spent upwards of six hours searching the internet for an explanation of how to do this that I can apply to my project, so now I'm looking for personalized help.

Here's the options I have considered:

Arrays
Controls.Add("txtBoxName" & i) in a For...Next loop
    I have actually tried the For...Next loop with Controls.Add,
and had absolutely no luck.

The problem with both of these, while Arrays may be more convenient in the long run, is that (at least as I see it) with both you have to name the textboxes and then call the names, which is a syntax I cannot find anywhere.

Can anyone help? I have no problem posting the relevant code if need be.

Also, if I have overlooked something, feel free to point me in the right direction. I may ask for help understanding it, though! ;)

Thanks, Dudebird47

Best How To :

Simple example of a button added at run time with code to handle its click event:

Option Explicit
Private WithEvents btn As MSForms.CommandButton

Private Sub btn_Click()
    MsgBox "You clicked me"
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Set btn = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "some_button", True)
    With btn
        .Top = 5
        .Left = 5
        .Width = 75
        .Height = 50
        .Caption = "click me"
    End With
End Sub
