Method or data member not found error in Worksheet var

Question

I have this code that allows the user to open a file using filepicker

Sub SelectFile()

    Dim sFileName  As Variant

    Dim ws As Worksheet

    Set ws = Sheets("Main")
    sFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("MS Excel (*.csv), *.xlxs")

    If sFileName = False Then

        MsgBox "No file selected.", vbInformation, "Warning!"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    Sheets("Main").txtSrc.Value = sFileName

End Sub

when I'm trying to change Sheets("Main").txtSrc.Value = sFileName to ws.txtSrc.Value = sFileName , it returns the method or data member not found error. By the way, txtSrc is an ActiveX Control textbox. Can someone help me understand this?

Answer 1

The Worksheet class does not have a txtSrc property. Declare the ws variable as Object or as the specific sheet interface (its code name).

Answer 2

ws.Shapes("txtSrc").OLEFormat.Object.object.value
