updating variables

[mettodog]

i have this code in my prog.:

dim text as string
text = text1.text

text1.text = "hello"

text2.text = text

if i change the contents of text1, via a text box, text2 stays still says hello. why? and how can i update this? i heard something about using a forms change event...

Do you put your code on Text1_Change event?

no, i was wonderning how to use the change event though.

Change event is triggered on an object every time its value changes. Try to put your code in Text1_Change but eliminate the line

text1.text = "hello"

coz it will force text on Text2 stays with [user input]'hello'.

Good Luck
