You can't just post a page of code with no comments and expect us to tell you what is wrong with it. Tell us what it is supposed to do, then tell us what it is actually doing. Any error messages that pop up would be useful to know as well.

Sorry about the vague messase Jim, as im just getting to gips with how the site operates. my problem is in the" btn checkscore" the error is delare lblPlayerSum.Text and lblComputerSum.Text ijust dont know how to. I tried "Dim PlayerSum As Integer". with no luck. sorry again for the vague message.

You aren't referencing a textbox you renamed or forgot to name are you? If not, have you possibly deleted the textbox by accident?

Are both of them on a different form?

Have you forgotten to add them to the form?

If you have you can do it through the designer or manually like:

Public lblComputerSum As Label
lblComputerSum.Name = "lblComputerSum"
Public lblPlayerSum As Label
lblPlayerSum.Name = "lblPlayerSum"


'Then add to form.'

MyForm.Controls.Add(lblComputerSum)
MyForm.Controls.Add(lblPlayerSum)

Thanks for the input. put im not quite sure how to implement your code into mine. i tried but i got it wrong. Thanks for the help
