    What thou...

    Why does the caption keep coming up 0?

    Sub SetPos()
    PC.xpos = 0
    PC.xview = 120
    PC.ypos = 0
    PC.yview = 120
    frmGame.Caption = PC.yview
    End Sub
    Do you know if you will answer no to this question?
    If we've never seen something happen, we can't know if its impossible.
    If the soles of a shoe make faces at the floor when we don't look and isn't being watched via mirror or video tape, will we ever know?
    If someone orders you to disobey all of their orders, do you obey or disobey?

    You can surely say this function should work. So search your code for "Caption =" maybe you set the caption somewhere else, too.

    I got it to work, but not how I like...

    In module 1 -
    Type PlayerChar
    xpos As Integer
    ypos As Integer
    xview As Integer
    yview As Integer
    xvel As Integer
    yvel As Integer
    End Type

    Global PC As PlayerChar

    In module 2, I set the properties in that sub. But it doesnt work... how do I make it so that it still works even if they are in different modules?

    There's nothing to do.. it should work. If you declared that variable in a public module you can access them from any other module or class... so there should be no problem.

    Throw a CStr in there. Indirect conversion assignments are bad.

    I know it worked, but he should still do explicit conversions nonetheless. It's good coding practice :P

    Yeah VB gives us some really bad coding habits. I'm having a hard time getting used to C++ because of that

    Drakon, can you please post the code? There doesn't seem to be any problem with the part you're showing us, I'm sure it's somewhere else.
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:
