textboxes (NEWBIE question)

[taxes]

OK I have had some sucess with code like:

Fcco.Text = Val(Fosc.Text) * Val(M.Text) * Val(P.Text) * 2

This places the result in the Fcco textbox. Since Fcco IS a textbox, the user could plug values in there which is not what I want since it is only an output. Anyway to have the result show up as plain text?

In VB6 textboxes were of the variant type. In VB.NET they are solely strings. Therefore

Fcco.Text = Cstr(Val(Fosc.Text) * Val(M.Text) * Val(P.Text) * 2)

There are other ways to convert to strings but that is the easiest.
