@Bogaa.... WHAT adds two names to the textbox....let me see the code.......

dim myName as string
myName = Mid(Text1.Text, (Len(Text1.Text) / 2) + 1)
Text1.Text = myName

does that do what you need??????

You don't need help in removing duplicate names; you need help in avoiding putting duplicate names in textbox.

Maybe you are concatenating the string you add to Text1

Text1.Text already equals "dean"

Then you add "dean" again - Text1.Text = Text1.Text & name - where name = "dean" - perhaps you did not clear the name variable next time you add to Text1. Also, because it comes out "deandean" it looks like you are not adding the & vbCrLf to the end of each line
