Hey people. I am in a beginning level Visual Basic Class and we are using the text "Starting out with Visual Basic 2008 4th Edition" by Tony Gaddis. My friend and I are really struggling with one of the projects which projects the result of a race. We are running into issues in the coding where we can get the names to appear in order based on who ran the fastest. I attatched a picture of the form for you to look at and what I have for coding. Any combination I have tried just fails and nothing comes up when I hit the "calculate results" button. We need the names in text boxes, the times in text boxes, and then the results to appear in labels. Here is what I have so far in the coding for the calculate results button.... where are we going wrong?? Private Sub btncalculate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btncalculate.Click 'Calculate who came in first, second and third place Dim txtrunner1finish As Single Dim txtrunner2finish As Single Dim txtrunner3finish As Single 'Copy the times into the variables Try txtrunner1finish = CSng(txtrunner1finish.ToString) txtrunner2finish = CSng(txtrunner2finish.ToString) txtrunner3finish = CSng(txtrunner3finish.ToString) Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show("Time scores must be numeric.", "Error") Return End Try 'Calculate and display the winner If txtrunner1finish < txtrunner2finish < txtrunner3finish Then lblfirstresults.Text = txtrunner1finish lblsecondresults.Text = txtrunner2finish lblthirdresults.Text = txtrunner3finish End If End Sub Any help would be most appreciated! I have a mental block when it comes to math normally so this is a struggle for me! Thank you!!

If txtrunner1finish < txtrunner2finish < txtrunner3finish Then This evaluates to either If -1 < txtrunner3finish Then Or If 0 < txtrunner3finish Then Instead, write this: If txtrunner1finish < txtrunner2finish And txtrunner2finish < txtrunner3finish Then Also: txtrunner1finish = CSng(txtrunner1finish.ToString) txtrunner2finish = CSng(txtrunner2finish.ToString) txtrunner3finish = CSng(txtrunner3finish.ToString) All three will always be 0. Rename the txtrunnerXfinish to something like sngrunnerXfinish
