Thanks..but......uh.......:)
Thanks Megatron and QWERTY, but I was trying to create a variable and check the txtinput box then use the variable if txtInput was empty.
I figured it out though.
by the way I got this to work (the actuall project has four buttons and 5 text boxs. the idea is text is only in one box at a time and moves to what ever button the user clicks on)
but the code I use was WAY to long somthing like
if txtOne="" AND txtTwo ="" and ect....
checking all the boxes. I had five If then else statments for each button.
anyways.............
thanks for the response.I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.
