help with msgbox and text1

have made it before, but cant remeber the code. I want it so that when
anything is written in text1 it = "Hello (Name)"
get what i mean?
if not, i want it so that when anything is written in text one, and i hit the command button it says "hello (entered name)"

In the command button's Click try,

MsgBox "Hello " & Text1.Text

that worked, but i want to make so that if it isnt blank the message gets displayed, basically:
If Text1 = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter your name"
End If
MsgBox "Hello " & Text1.Text

is what i have so far (thanks to you =p) but i need it to make it so that it cant be blank i thought it was
elseif text1 = <> "" & text1.text

but im not sure..

Well if you don't want to continue if no name was entered the why not just exit the button_click sub?

If Text1.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter your name"
Exit Sub
End If

MsgBox "Hello " & Text1.Text

THANK YOU! thats what i wanted!

i need more help..well for starters all my .frm's when i try to open them, nothing shows up, no error, no code, no anything.. Next, my audio player that i made is saying that:
If Combo1 = "The Misfits - Saturday Night" Then
MsgBox "Copyrighted By: Taylor (aka PhReAkInGjt or Jtst1"
End If
If Combo1 = "The Misfits - Saturday Night" Then
Call Playwave("The Misfits - Saturday Night.WAV", 1)
End If

Call cannot be defined? I have a working version of this, but i dont know what to do.

I don't understand this. Is "call cannot be defined" error that you get? On what line?

Why are you trying to hard code this anyways?

Also the code

Code:

---

If Combo1 = "The Misfits - Saturday Night" Then

---

is very ambiguous, do you mean to say

Code:

---

If Combo1.Text = "The Misfits - Saturday Night" Then

---

@Ione REBEL: you're true but his version is still correct. You don't need to specify Control's Property if it's default. For example:

Code:

---

Picture1 = LoadPicture("c:\windows\gone fishing.bmp") 'instead of Picture1.Picture = ...

---

... will work, since .Picture is PictureBox's default Property.

I'm also against this syntax but it's correct :)

LOL, thats true.
I also said it was AMBIGUOUS, not that it won't work. I used to do that too, when I was a newbie ROFL. I was just pointing out that it was not a very good programming practice. I also consider the code given by EdgeMeal:

Code:

---

If Text1.Text = "" Then
  MsgBox "You must enter your name"
  Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox "Hello " & Text1.Text

---

to be not a very good programming practice since it is making things complex. I would rather use:

Code:

---

If Text1.Text = "" Then
  MsgBox "You must enter your name"
Else
  MsgBox "Hello " & Text1.Text
End If

---

Does that not work exactly like the former code? And its much simpler and easier to understand.

OK, it was a miss-understanding :)
