I'm stuck again.  I'm attempting to make something which displays timetables 1-12 .

So it would display like this

1 * 1 = 1    2 *1 = 1
1 * 2 =2     2 *2 = 2
1 * 3 =3     2 *3 = 6

Any sugguestions I've really had enough everything i try just breaks.

Its the second thing I'm struggling with

The question/problem is to vague though. I could post the code to generate those tables, but it highly depends on exactly how you want to display them and where you want to display them...

In essence it will just be some simple nested FOR...NEXT loops.


It would be better if you attach your code, so it can be fixed in the way you need it.

K Cookie well I'll try and make some sense of it myself to make it sort of work before i even post it

[edit]  This is actually way harder than I thought , basically all I need to do is have all the times tables print to a form.  on the click of a command button.  I'm reading up on something called tabs at the moment I don't know if this is the way to go but it seems to look hopeful

In essence it would be something like:

code:

---

For TimesTable = 1 to 10
   For Number = 1 to 10
      Debug.Print Number & " x " & TimesTable & " = " & (Number * TimesTable)
   Next Number
Next TimesTable

---

Well that worked

I'm sort of trying to teach myself Vb too fast I think and I keep falling over.

[edit]  Got it to print to a form now   Just need to tidy them into rows Any ideas [/edit]

code:

---

Private Sub cmdcalc_Click()


    Dim Timestable As Integer
    Dim Number As Integer

    For Timestable = 1 To 12
        For Number = 1 To 12
            frmTables.Print Number & " x " & Timestable & " = "; (Number * Timestable)
        Next Number
    Next Timestable
   
   
End Sub

---

Never ever did one think he would use that bbcode

to make it go into rows just add a vbcrlf like

code:

---

Private Sub cmdcalc_Click()


    Dim Timestable As Integer
    Dim Number As Integer

    For Timestable = 1 To 12
        For Number = 1 To 12
            frmTables.Print Number & " x " & Timestable & " = "; (Number * Timestable) & vbcrlf
        Next Number
    Next Timestable
   
   
End Sub

---

That just spaced them out  

Thanks for the input its starting to look better

Right I think its got to be the tab command some how pushed into this

I'm getting there slowly

ah yea, i see what u mean, i just tested the code,  so u want each time table set in a new column?

Yup

I've been coding for nearly 7 hours now on and off.  Its harder than it looks I dunno how major coders do it

once you get into it  its not too bad.  But about the columns, printing it onto the form i cant think of a way to put it in columns, not saying it cant be done, i just cant think how atm
