I have decided to try my luck in programming again (who knows how many times I've said that?). I am using VB because my coding knowledge is well below average and I understand it's the easiest to learn. I am very happy with how well I'm doing but have come across a problem.

I have a button that when clicked I want it to populate a text box (txtLink) with:
< a href="link.htm" >linktext< /a >.
The obvious problem is when I put:
txtLink.SelText = "< a href="
it's then done with that line of code. How could I make it around this? Thanks for your help.

If you think an education is expensive...try ignorance.
