Arguement Not Optional?

I'm fairly new to VB and just dug out the old disc so sorry if this is in the wrong place or if it's actually a very simple answer..

I'm trying to do an extremely simple login form that doesn't use any other database but i wouldnt mind using a text file, at the moment i'm using this code but it's saying arguement not optional whenever i click the button.

Code:

---

'Global Variables
Dim Username As String                      'Username Variable
Dim Password As String                      'Password Variable
 
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()
 
Username = "Test"              'What the Username Variable is
Password = "Test"              'What the Password Variable is
 
'If Statement Starting Here
'It States that if the username is = to text box and password is = password text box, then it should login, else display error message!
If Username = txtUsername And Password = txtPassword Then
 
          frmLoginSuccess.Show    'Shows the Login Success Form
          frmLoginScreen.Hide      'Hides the Login Screen
 
Else
 
'A Message box that displays you have entered the wrong username and password
         
    MsgBox ("You have entered the wrong username and password")
 
End If
 
End Sub

---

I've found the code on the internet...

Code:

---

MsgBox ("You have entered the wrong username and password")

->

MsgBox "You have entered the wrong username and password"

---

Still the same error, it's highlighting the if statement when it appears...

Is this VB6 or .Net?

If .Net, use txtPassword.Text and txtUserName.Text; I've read that you must provide the property names but am unsure

If VB6, ensure you do not have any control names, function/sub names or form names that use the name Password or UserName.

It's VB5 :lol: But still, it's not the problem with same names and .Text really does't work..

I think you may have a naming issue or indexing issue as I mentioned. If you dont' find an answer, you may want to zip up your form or project so we can take a look.

If its not the MsgBox than it is this, but you should change the messagebox call like i mentioned

Code:

---

If Username = txtUsername.Text And Password = txtPassword.Text Then

---

Btw, your code works for me, im using VB6

Think this zip has everything needed..

txtUserName and txtPassword are indexed. Their Index property is not blank, it has a number there. So, you must include the index with the control name, i.e.,
txtUserName(0).Text and txtPassword(1).Text.

Optionally, change the Index properties, from the property sheet, for those textboxes to be blank.

Awesome, it's stopped the error.. Just wont do anything when i click the button now?

No worries, ignore that last post.. Was just naming problems that i was messing with..

Thanks Guys, Big Help :D

You need to help us understand better? What exactly do you mean, "won't do anything". The button will either show a message box or display your frmLoginSuccess form, if it exists.

You didn't rename your command button did you? It is still named cmdLogin?

Edited: Cool, you figured it out. Please mark this post as resolved if it is resolved now.
