The following causes a crash, know why?

Why does this cause a crash once I try to minimize the the app? The line in parentheses is the offender...but I need it to be set to this size becuase of where the cmdbuttons are for when the window state is 0 or 2.

Private Sub Form_Resize()
'This is activated every time that you resize the form
'either by controlbox or mouse resize
'eg.
txtNotepad.Width = Main.Width - 120
( txtNotepad.Height = Main.Height - 1150 )
cmdOpen.Top = Main.Height - 1100
cmdSave.Top = Main.Height - 1100
cmdExit.Top = Main.Height - 1100
End Sub

I believe I fixed it...well it works.
Do you think this is proper coding?

Private Sub Form_Resize()
'This is activated every time that you resize the form
'either by controlbox or mouse resize
'eg.
If Main.WindowState = 1 Then
GoTo Bottom
End If

txtNotepad.Width = Main.Width - 120
txtNotepad.Height = Main.Height - 1150
cmdOpen.Top = Main.Height - 1100
cmdSave.Top = Main.Height - 1100
cmdExit.Top = Main.Height - 1100
Bottom:
End Sub

Instead of useing the Goto statement you could have put all
the code inside the IF Then statement.


Like this


If Main.WindowState = 1 Then

txtNotepad.Width = Main.Width - 120
txtNotepad.Height = Main.Height - 1150
cmdOpen.Top = Main.Height - 1100
cmdSave.Top = Main.Height - 1100
cmdExit.Top = Main.Height - 1100

End If

End





In this case there isn't enough code to make a big difference but if you have a lot of code and some goto statements
it would be a lot of work to figure the code out.

I appreciate your keen suggestion, thankyou,
