Help with lblMsg in VB 6

I help with how to get the main form of an application to display a student's name when the main form is first run after they enter their name into a standard dialog box.

On form load event you can add:

lblStudentName.caption = inputbox("Enter your name: " )

As soon as the form loads the student will be prompted to enter his/her name and it will display the input to a label call lblStudentName

^^I don't need it to create another input box though..I already have a standard dialog box [input box] where they input their name..I need help with how to get the name they put in there when the application runs to display on the main form

What you probably want to do is to add a public variable.
1. add a module to your project
2. declare a Public variable

Public retStudentName as string
3. Store the value of the student input to that variable and you can use it anywhere in your project.

How to use:

retStudentName = inmputbox(“Student Name”)

Textbox1 = retStudentName
Msgbox (retStudentName)
lblStudentName.caption = retStudentName

anything = retStudentName

Even form.caption = “Application Name: “ & retStudentName

The best part is that this variable will hold the name of the student and it can be accessed by any form, subroutine, etc. in your project.

Note: I van't used VB6 for a long time. But if it's not Public try Global declaration.
