Variable as part of a variable name

How do I insert a string into a variable name?

Let's say I have 10 labels named col1 to col10, and I want to give them all
the same caption - something along the lines of this:

col[1 to 10].text = ""
or

Dim currentLbl
For currentLbl = 1 to 10
col[currentLbl].Text = ""
Next

Both do not work - I have Visual Studio.Net 2003

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am relatively new to programming

Sorry, this newsgroup is populated with mainly "classic" VB6 or below
scholars.

Try a newsgroup with 'dotnet' in its name.

In classic VB, your for.. next.. would work, So I guess that's another
reason for me to stay away from vb.not

You're right, wood and trees bit.

Object variable or With block variable not set error that sh I'm trying to encapsulate some common report functionality in my app in a report class module. Below is how I declare and instantiate the class. Note that there is no error when I display the report. Option Explicit Dim arCurrent As clsReport Private Sub

Object variable or with block variable not set I have an object variable defined in the module - something like Dim xxx as Object. In one of the class module say class A, i set the value of xxx, by doing something like Set xxx = objManager. In another class module say Class B, in one of the functions

VB6 - Initializing a variable If I have created a Type, with several fields, is there a way, in VB6 to initialize all members to 0. I am looking for the VB equivalent to the C/C++ of memset(). Many thanks,
