I agree with Astronouth7303 200% what are you doing using a picture box!!!???!!?!!?!!? If you don't want people to be able to change the value then even using a label would be better then a picture box!

probably because he is using Print() so that he doesn't have to deal with linebreaks and the previous contents. however, i agree that a textbox is probably better here - the small amount of extra code is worth it.

i'd probably recommend a global variable to keep a running total in.

If you look at my code, I use variables for storing values and controls to display them. You could use the controls for storing values (VB handles conversions). But this introduces errors (possibly).

I just found something out about VB: it's predictable! lol

my brother (Bro) has been doing VC++ for a few months and has totally forgoten how to use VB, and I'm helping him make a control (Or: telling him he has to use "Not A" instead of "!A")

Hardly any (hopefully none) professional programmers would do this. Not only do you introduce the possiblity of introducing errors, it is less clean and violates a lot of principles of programming, such as information hiding.

P.S. VB gives me shivers. Go Java and C++.
