Dawon, hon, we have really got to get you to speak in longer sentences! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Laughing]" title="" src="graemlins/lol.gif" />

Can you elucidate for Lord Skeeve, cause, heaven knows, I don't know how to help you out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Laughing]" title="" src="graemlins/lol.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Laughing]" title="" src="graemlins/lol.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Laughing]" title="" src="graemlins/lol.gif" />

so what ur lookin for is text1.text = "whatever"
to access it from other forms you would use
whichever form the text is on like form1
form1.text1.text
or you could just define the variable on form load event
use something like dim ipaddress
under form_load() put
ipaddress = "whatever"
this method gets rid of the need for a textbox

lemme know if that helped or not
im much better at visual basic than i am with hardware

i will try it out, that is what i need thought
