Buttons to strings

Hi,

Ideally, I would like to be able to replace:
"Option1(0)";

with:
a$

where:
a$="Option1(0)"

I could then make up a$ by, for example:
a$="Option"+str(x%)+"(0)"
and generate a range of a$ values depening on x%

However, this does not work as if I use the above for a$ and say:
If a$ = True Then End

I get a type mismatch error.

Can anyone suggest a way of overcoming this such that I can make up
a string to represent "Option1(0)";, please?

Many thanks,

Peter

This example is for command buttons, but it will work for other controls.

Dim ctl As CommandButton
Set ctl = Me.Controls("Command" & CStr(x%))(0)
ctl.Caption = "Hello world."

I believe that's impossible in vb6, maybe a better programmer than me would
know.
