You need to move them from top left of the window and make them visible. They're not visible by default,
presumably so you don't get a flash. As it were.

  Subject: [pro_vb] Re: Can I create objects run-time? (eg a textbox) SOLVED IN THIS WAY


  I just tried this code, having on the form just a textbox [tb(0)] and a
  command button [command1]
  No errors... but no new textboxes...
  I also tried this: tb(r) = tb(r - 1) to set all the properies, but I think
  it makes equal the default one (text).

  Private Sub Command1_Click()
      For r = 1 To 3
          Load tb(r)
          tb(r) = tb(r - 1)   'to have the same properties...
          tb(r).Top = tb(r - 1).Top + tb(r - 1).Height    'to move it down the
  form
      Next
  End Sub

  -------------
  SOLUTION
  -------------

  The only thing i needed to do more is to set
              tb(r).visible = true
  and then... :D new textboxes!!!

  ----------------------------------------
  THANKS A LOT TO EVERYBODY
      your help has been indispensable!

  Ale.
