.Text is default for a Text box so you don't need to use it in code.

Valid point Glen, but I beleive its good practice - it makes
you use the, or at least, makes you think about the .property
you need to use.

You're probably right Bruce, guess I'm just lazy.

Guess our code didn't work or we'd have been thanked.

You might also want to use the Val function in order not to get a 13 Type Mismatch if the text box contains 'string' data instead of a number.

MyInt = Cint(Val(Text1.Text))

one other point on this... MS got rid of the default properties on controls in VB.NET because it was bad practice... just like they got rid of other bad bad things like variants and negative bounds in arrays.
