A form is needed

[tappling]

I have a code that is suppose to do the following:
You type a single number into the input box then you hit the plus key. This will make that number be added to what ever is in the display box. Then you type a new number into the input box and hit the plus key again and now this new number will be added to what is in the display box and the sum will again be put in the display box. You must use the if statement and the plus key does not show up on the form.

Private Sub txtInputBox_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
IfChr(KeyAscii)= "+" Then
KeyAscii=0
txtDisplayBox.Text = Val(txtDisplayBox.Text) + Val (txtinputbox.Text
txtinputbox.Text = ""
End If
End Sub

Now the code works!! but there is not way of telling the user to enter any numbers or no way of telling the user to press the plus key, and I'm not sure how to create the forms. Please help

Ummm... I'm a little confused.
You said the above code worked, how did you test it if you don't have a form?

'Here is a simple little way.

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim msg
   msg = "Welcome to my little application." & vbcrlf
   msg = msg & "Simply enter info into the textboxes." &   vbcrlf
   msg = msg & "+ sign does bla bal" & vbcrlf
   msg = msg & "Surley, you get the message!"
  
Msgbox msg,vbinformation,"My Application Rules"
End sub

Or you can just add labels with background set to transparant and put them above the textbox in question
