Text to string with some other things

[Dodgeram01]

I have 5 text boxes, and 6 check boxes. When a check box is selected, the text from the text box next to it needs to be put into a string:

Input1 = txtInput1.Text
Input1 = "" & vbCrLf & "__ " & Input1 & ""

 

These values (Input1 - Input5) are then printed in a list. Part of the code works correctly as I get to the new line and I get "__ ". I am however not understanding why the first part of the code doesn't seem to be working. Also, I have dimmed Inputs1 - Input5 as Strings. Should they be doubles or something similar? Thank You.

are the variables (Input1 ..5) going to be used in a calculation of a numeric nature?

Text, I'm sorry. Right now I have the variables being assigned when the check boxes are clicked, but I just "discovered" that it'll work if you enter code into the textbox first, and then check the box. I'm thinking I might add this code to the print button, because at that point in time all the desired data should be entered.

 

(The program displays a form, with numerous checkboxes and labels (which contain item names). When a checkbox is checked, the corresponding item is added to the list, and then the list is printed.)

I removed the checkboxes for these text inputs. I also put the string assignment (I guess that's what you'd call it) into my Print button's click event. Problem solved. Thanks for your help(support, whatever ya wanna call it) Robby.

I was wrong. Now that I put that stuff under the print button, the small line I need for the check prints out for every Input, whether there's text entered or not. Is there a different event, such as something relating the textbox that would be suitable for this?

'into my Print button's click event'... That's a good move.

I'm thinking maybe a little "If..then" technology may be able to rectify my current "situation."

 

**Update**

The "situation" has been rectified.
