Either use val function to get a numeric expression or declare your variables as integers

don't ask me why this works.
[code]
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text3.Text = (Text2) * (Text1) / (Text1) + (Text1)

End Sub

I'm new to this as well and learning on my own too. This is a great place for advice! :) Super helpful people here!

I created a quick form and tried this out so it should work for you.

On the form I created three text boxes and one command button, named cmdAdd. Hope this helps you! :)

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()

'Declare numbers you wish to add as Integers.
Dim intA As Integer, intB As Integer


intA = txtA.Text
intB = txtB.Text

txtC.Text = intA + intB

End Sub

Hello,

You could also use this:

Code:

---

a = Cint(text1.text) ' change to an integer
b = Cint(text2.text)
c = a + b
text3.text = c

---

Check the help files for Cint, and see the other types you can change to.

Hope this helps,

VAL(expression) gives you any values from strings
CINT(expression) Rounds your value to the nearest whole

Just to give the example of Val...

Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()

Text3.Text = Val(Text1.Text) + (Text2.Text)

End Sub

The Val converts the string to a numeric value
