Hi, i am fairly new to VB and have version 6. I have 2 text boxes that need numbers to be entered into them. Now Text2 insnt enabled until text1 has numbers entered into it, which is fine but what i want is as soon as the user clicks text2 or it gets the focus then i want it to lock the numbers in text1 so they cannot be changed. Any ideas?? Also guys i want to make sure that the number in Text 2 has to be bigger than text1 any ideas how i can do that too. Like i said im new to Vb but its for college and ive done a google but cant find anything. thanks Mark AMD Athlon 64 3500+ sct 939 Gigabyte K8NXP-SlI Radeon X700pro 256mb 1GB Kingston value ram 3200 Audigy 2 ZS 200GB Maxtor SATA HDD DVD Rom

text1.enabled = false Chi They mostly come at night...mostly.

Do you have a textbook? Have you learned about conditional expressions (like if, else, etc.) (I'm serious, not trying to be mean here). If so, check them out and see if you can come up with anything on the number needing to be bigger. Stephen "Live long and PROGRAM......or at least do _something_ with all that time...!"
