compare form fields

This is easy, but I can't figure it out....a couple things. First, I have a connection with one of my databases that I am using to allow my users to change their password. I want to be able to have them confirm their password just to be sure they typed it in correctly. I have seen different ways of doing this but I just want a simple comparison. Secondly, I have it set up where they have to enter their old password, just to be sure. If the old password doesn't match the one in the database, it won't update. I want it to prompt them that they have made an error, and instead of going to the confirmation page, prompt them what their error was.

Thanks in advance

you could provide one text box first, and use an IF statement and if if matches, make visible, on the same form, a second text box and test those for equality.

VB Code:

'This would be in a button_click event
 
frmDialog.showdialog
 
'this would be in another _click event on frmDialog
 
dim OldPass as string = textbox1.text
 
if pass <> [whats on the DB] then
 
'provide an error here
 
else
 
textbox2.visible = true
buttonChangePass.visible = true
end if
 
 
'This would be a _click event for a buttonChangePass
 
if textbox1.text <> textbox2.text
 
'provide an error here
 
else
 
'Make the changes on the database according to text box1 or 2
