i don't know anything about visual basic, but i'm trying to create something that has a 2 text boxes and a button. my idea is that the user types something in the first text box, then clicks the button, and if the text he typed is correct the second text box will display "correct" or "wrong" if the user is wrong. so far i've got my two text boxes on there name text1 and text2, then i clicked the button to get to the code and did the following...

Private Sub Command1_Click()
passwordX = Val(Text1.Text)
If passwordX = "hey" Then
display.Text2 = "Access Granted"
Else
display.Text2 = "Access Denied"
End If

End Sub

as i said i have no experience so i'm not expecting to even be close, but i was just wondering if someone could tell me how it would be done. thanks

I think that's globally correct apart from one bit.

Code
 
If passwordX = "hey" Then
[B]display.Text2[/B] = "Access Granted"
Else
[B]display.Text2 [/B]= "Access Denied"
End If
 
i don't what display.text2 would do but if you have a txtbox control called text2 if think it would be smtg like

Code
 
If passwordX = "hey" Then
[B]Text2.text[/B] = "Access Granted"
Else
[B]Text2.text [/B]= "Access Denied"
End If

i tried that, and it works better, no more error messages, however, it comes up as "Access Granted" no matter what the password is. Below is the code i used.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
passwordX = Val(Text1.Text)
If passwordX = hey Then
Text2.Text = "Access Granted"
Else
Text2.Text = "Access Denied"
End If
End Sub

I know I posted lousely...That's y I said "damn me"

ANyway about your code well aparently the error is a the pw check

the comparison part I mean:
Code
 If passwordX = hey Then 
try putting hey bettwen "" like

Code
 If passwordX = "hey" Then 
that prolly won't do jack so I recommend u try and debug it:
MAke sure the passwordX variable contains the password BEFORE the comparison occurs.

If I sound confusing plz let me know

Code Correction and modified for efficiency

Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Text1.Text = "hey" Then
Text2.Text = "Access Granted"
Else
Text2.Text = "Access Denied"
End If
End Sub

I don't know why you tried to use the "Val" function. That converts text into numbers. "hey" is converted to 0. "123" is converted to 123. And you don't need to use a variable anyway.
