Multiple textbox problem

[bucko]

Hi i'm trying to create a conversion program for use at work. I have eight text boxes for various linear measurements. If I type in 10 in the inches text box, and then click on the calculate button I want the other seven text boxes to give the figure in their respective outputs e.g. millimeters, yards etc. What I want to know is how will the program know which text box to base the calculations on.

thanks in advance

You can use a Select Case like this

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Select Case True
        Case Text1.Text <> ""   ' Data entered in Text1
            ' Code to convert data
        Case Text2.Text <> ""   ' Data entered in Text2
            ' Code to convert data
        Case Else   ' No data entered
    End Select

End Sub

You might try to use the got focus event or textbox change event to trigger the results in the other text boxes. I hope this is what you meant.
