VB How do I call up another form from a command button?

[Nikotnby]

I want to call another form when I click on a command button. My project is very small so I don't think there's a lot of coding involved(8-10 forms) I don't need any daughter windows and the project will be an executable. Also, I get an "Object Required" error when compiling. Here's a sample code:
General Declarations
Dim msg1text as string
Dim msg2text as string
Dim msg3text as string
Dim msg4text as string

Form Load
msg1.text = "dfasd"
msg2.text = "dfasd"
msg3.text = "dfasd"
msg4.text = "dfasd"

Then in CmdText1
msg1.text = "dfasd"
msg2.text = ""
msg3.text = ""
msg4.text = ""
Help???
I get the error in CmdText1, msg1
Thanks

The code you supplied is perfectly fine. The error is probably caused by the fact that you didn't put the text boxes on the form.

also, the

Dim msg1text as string 
Dim msg2text as string 
Dim msg3text as string 
Dim msg4text as string

code is unused, so get rid of it.

Can you also be more specific when writing your post, it's pretty hard to determine what's wrong with so little information.

Mosquito,

Yes, there, indeed, are text boxes on my form. What I want the program to do is when I click on a command button, a message appears in the text box. When I compile and take out the Dim'ed messages, no text appears.

Can you mail me the sourcecode, because this way we are getting nowhere.

this should be simple enough. the following code worked fine for me.

Dim strText1 As String
Dim strText2 As String
Dim strText3 As String
Dim strText4 As String


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text1.Text = "e"
Text2.Text = " "
Text3.Text = " "
Text4.Text = " "

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = "a"
Text2.Text = "b "
Text3.Text = "c"
Text4.Text = "d"

End Sub

the dim of the strings are not necessary unless you plan to use these variables
at some other point. i included them just to match what you were doing.

We must all pay homage to Great_One!!

Thanks Much, I'll have to try it

If you need the actual source code,
let me know and I'll try and email it Monday
Also I have 4 text boxes, 5 command buttons and 4 image boxes on my Form!
