)

So if you have some VB knowledge, please help me:

well, i just made a simple form with a label a timer and a button.

Used your code and it worked

Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
  Label1.Caption = Format(Val(Label1.Caption) + 0.01, "fixed")
End Sub

although your interval is wrong on your timer, 1000 is a second. If your doing milliseconds in that format then thats still wrong, should be 10 i think (unless its dif in vb.net)

edit: oooh :banghead:

you must be doing it in milliseconds cus there arnt 100 seconds in a min, lol

ANOTER edit: your errors seem to be with the label. Have you named it right?

I FOUND THE SOLUTION

youre using vb 6 code. in vb.net they replace .caption with .text for some stupid reason

you dont build stuff in vb 6. You just run it, if you want a .exe in vb 6 you have to go to file/make "projectname".exe

the version youre using is different by the sounds of it

So is this VB 6.0 or VB.NET? I'm more familiar with VB 6.0 myself. Trying to get a VB programming job actually... *crosses fingers*

Yeah I was just going to say, the compiler was not recognizing Timer1.Caption (blue underline). Normally if you Just type the class name and a period (aka Timer1.) it will give you a list of valid classes you can use. I'm guessing Caption does not show up in that list.

man read the above posts in this thread man... Perhaps use punctuation too?

A few people have already pointed out that the compiler cannot find the .Caption class, and have suggested using .Text instead.
