If you know anything about this please speak up.

First up, this question has been asked and answered many times. I suggest searching the forum before posting.
Secondly, there is no exporting as an EXE. You can't run your program if it's not an EXE, so you're already creating an EXE every time you run it in the debugger. You can find that EXE in the bin\Debug folder under your project folder. That said, you don't want to distribute a Debug build of of your app, so you need to create a Release build. You do this in VB Express simply by building from the Build menu. In VS you have to change the configuration from Debug to Release on the tool bar first. The Release build can be found in the bin\Release folder under your project folder.
ok thank you sorry for the double posting
