im making a game for preschoolers (a simple adding game) and what i wanna do is at the end make an accuracy score (eg. your accuracy for the right answer was 80%). what ive got is 8 forms, one for each question (please dont say "why didnt you use the one form" the answer is i tried that, i coulnt get it to work properly so my teacher told me to do it on different forms) anyway, is there a way to add up the numbers in a label in each form ( eg. form 1 label = 2, form 2 label = 1, therefore Form1 label plus form 2 label = 3)

the only reason i am stuck is that i cant seem to use other forms information when a different form is loaded up, i want to know if you can somehow in the background add these numbers together, or even better when you go to the next form it adds the number from the last form into the new form..

i hope u guys get what i mean and can help me

thx in advance

not quite
do they need to click a button for it to happen or is it ment to be dynamic?

Add a module and inside it type:

code:

---

Public LabelTotal as Integer

---

Then, when you want to add to it (usually after you change your label's caption), just use:

code:

---

LabelTotal = LabelTotal + CInt(LabelNameGoesHere.Caption)

---

When you want to see what in LabelTotal, just use:

code:

---

lblTotal.Caption = LabelTotal

---

(where lblTotal is the name of the label where you want do display the result).

Good luck

Btw, what was your problem with doing it in one form?

m y problem with doing it in one form was even when i pressed the right answer it would say try again because VB thought i had kinda pressed the button twice.

to xen0h: after pressing each button 1 is added to the total

ah got ya good luck

lol now that u got wat i mean can u help me any further,?

what part you need help with?

You can access stuff from other forms.

Say you wanted to access the text inside a textbox called Text1 and this textbox is on the form called Form1. You reference it like "Form1.Text1.Text" (whereas if it was not on a different form you could just use "Text1.Text" to get stuff from a different form just use the form name followed by a dot at the beginning of the reference).
