Sorry guys, begginer here, im trying to output a list of timestables
eg
1 x 6 = 6
2 x 6 = 12
3 x ...

but im really struggling with outputting the 'x 6 =' i.e the loop for the numbers is obviously easy but im not sure how to attach the fixed text each time. Any ideas?

your going to need two different for loops. one for the first number and one for the second number.

so something like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

  for x=0 to 12 step 1
 	   for y=0 to 12 step 1
 			   answer = x * y 
 		    lblMyLabel.Caption = lblMyLabel.Caption & vbCrLf & x & "x" & y & "=" & answer
 	  Next y
  Next x
