why are you going with VB6? Why not just do C# and download the free Visual C# Express Edition. C# is A LOT more powerful.

Keep well away from VB6, its got some really anoying bugs in it. Its also got limited object oriented capabilities. You would be better of downloading the Express Edition of VB.net 2005 and get a good book on it.

Go for C!
But if you'll have it a bit easier, go for - like Toro said, C#.

As far as I know this is a visual basic part of the forums, so why push him onto another language? either help him with what he needs or just hush.
Here are some links for you my friend:

www.msdn.com (a lot of ressources)
www.vbtutor.net
www.pscode.com
www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Visual-Basic/1
www.freeprogrammingresources.com/vbtutor.html

Good luck!

dim i as integer

i = 1
for(i < 5)
    TextBox.text = "jimmy_" + i
next i
I think that is how to do it. I might be a little off though its been a while since i've done VB

b/c Visual Basic 6 sucks! C# is a lot better and more powerful. I am saving him time by not letting him learn VB6!

There is no reason to be bashing vb6 if the Original poster wants help with vb6 then he probably has his reasons. If you don't like the language you don't have to help in here, The forum that this thread is posted in is the vb forum, and thats what he asked for help in. Thanks
