hey..im reading a book called "Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 21 Days"
and i need help with one of the "simple" projects in there!
\\
here is the code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Private Sub cmdCalcPay_Click()
' Computes three payroll variables
   Dim intHoursWorked As Integer
   Dim sngRate As Single, sngTaxRate As Single
   Dim curTaxes As Currency, curGrossPay As Currency
   Dim curNetpay As Currency
   
   ' Intialize the variables
   ' (Normally, data such as this would
   '  come from the user or from a file)
   intHoursWorked = 40    ' Total hours worked
   sngRate = 7.8          ' Pay per hour
   sngTaxRate = 0.42      ' Tax rate percentage
   
   ' Calculate the amounts
   curGrossPay = intHoursWorked * sngRate
   curTaxes = sngTaxRate * curGrossPay
   curNetpay = curGrossPay - curTaxes
   
   ' Display results in appropriate labels
   lblGrossPay.Caption = curGrossPay
   lblTaxes.Caption = curTaxes
   lblNetPay.Caption = curNetpay
End Sub

when i compile and run..etc. it says:
--
COMPILE ERROR:
method or data member not found
--

when it is debugged: it highlights in yellow:

(Toggle Plain Text)

Private Sub cmdCalcPay_Click()

and it highlights in Blue:

Are you using Visual Basic, or Visual Basic .NET? I believe they changed it to LabelName.Text in VB .NET.

Hi,

Check whether the name property of the command button control placed on the form is correct or not. To do: First double click on the command button then sub procedure will be displayed. Place the code and compile it once again.
