Thanks for the reply. It did help a bit...

#1: Ok, the VAL function will work to change "Evenings" into a value. However, I need to save the compiled roster. Essentially, the program takes the date, the shift, and the User inputed ID's and displays a roster for that day. I need to save this roster somehow so it can be accessed later. I could use a File Save As box, but would rather have VB do it automatically so the same naming convention could be used.

#2: How do I get VB to assign the value of the Shift selection? I have tried several variations.

For instance, the combo box for the shift selection is cboShift. Is the value stored in cboShift.Text? Couldn't I just use txtShift.Text = cboShift.Text?

Again, I only have minimum documentation as I'm using the Learning Edition for now. Which brings up another question: If it's the Learning Edition, isn't that the most logical edition for having the help files available?

Thanks for the reply!
