I'm sorry but I'm fairly new at VB, I know most things but not Instances or member functions. If you don't mind do you think you could explain a little more about those?

Thanks!

EDIT:
When I first started my program I needed somehting simple and quick to add into my main Form. So I used UserControls. Now I really dont want to add all my user controls to my main Form because of name conflicts. Like in UserControl1 I got Command1 and Text1 and so does my main Form. So I really don't want to rename all my objects and edit all my code to sute. That would be ALOT of work for me. Since i'm almost done this program I need a solution to fix this little problem I have got myself into. Any Sugestions.
