Hi one and all, maybe someone can help a beginner with a problem in VB4. The code below is an outline of a program I would like to write. As it sits, it runs fine. All code is in the one command button. I've been thru my training manual, as well as VB help and can't seem to find a way to solve the problem. After the line ....... If Combo1.text = "Visa" then...... I need a way to call some type of sub proceedure to place in text2. or call maybe form2 with it sized with the text already in it. If I can find a way of adding the necessary amount of data for each item in the dropdown box, I'll be able to create the program as I want it. But as it stands, I can't seem to get to there from here.No problem adding a module, class module or form to the program, Ijust can't find a way to add them into the program. Thanks for your time. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Press YES to return to password box, or NO to exit program", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) Select Case returnvalue Case vbNo End Case vbYes Text1.Text = "" Text1.SetFocus End Select End If If Text1.Text = "black" Then If Combo1.Text = "Visa" Then Text2.Text = "Visa is my number one card" Else If Combo1.Text = "mastercard" Then Text2.Text = "Mastercard is my number two card" Else If Combo1.Text = "Discover Card" Then Text2.Text = "Discover Card is my number three card" End If End If End If End If End Sub Just trying

Do you want to read a seperate text file, that has been saved onto the hard drive into a second text box? or do you want to save pre-written text like in a help file window ? Look into these commands... form1.Hide ....Makes this form invisible form2.Show...Makes this form visible create the form with the desired re written text or label on it then build it into the executable file' work those hide or show form words into your code as appropriate within an if command

Thank you, thank you. Works perfect. Why a 999 page training manual doesn't even address this basic concept, is beyond me. Hope I don't have to come back for a while. Have a good day Jack Hall Just trying
