Ok, I have several questions regarding VB with M$ Visual Basic Studio 6.0 installed as my vb tool. -Firstly, how do you take a program you created and turn it into a stand-alone program? For example, if I were to create a calculator, it is saved as "Calculator.frm" - How could I turn this into an .exe so I could run it on windows without turning on Visual Basic. -Second, How do you edit apps that were originally created in vb? Example - I have an friend's app edited in vb that is a .exe.(if you look at the icon, its a little vb rectangle with the teal title bar tilted to the left) -Third, I'm trying to create a average calculator where the user enters numbers in several text boxes, then hits calculate. I wrote it, but deleted it after it failed. So I'll write it real quick here: dim avg as double avg=(text1.text + text2.text + text3.text) / 3 Label1.Caption="The average is " & avg Whenever I hit "Calculate," all of the text boxes with the numbers turn to 0 and the average is 0...... Help would me much appreciated =) Thanks in advance -eta378

To turn the source code calculator.from into a programme click File Make xxxxxx. xxxxx being the name of the application you have given it. for the second question, you cant. You need the source code to edit a compiled programme. As for the average, there is nothing in it that I can see that is wrong. There is something else making the boxes zero. Stuart

Thnx ALOT for the fast reply Stuart! The only thing is, i just retried my formula for the average, and its incorrect - if you enter 5 in all three text boxes, the average comes out to be 185. What am I doing wrong? Everything else works tho!

Try this: Dim avg As Double avg = (CDbl(Text1.Text) + CDbl(Text2.Text) + CDbl(Text3.Text)) / 3 Label1.Caption = "The average is " & avg Cdbl converts the value in the Text Box to a Double, the same as avg. Stuart

eta, what is the rest of the code? Perhaps we might see something. Browser

It's ok browser - Stuart fixed my error. Thanks again fellaz ~Problem solved~
