Newbie TextBox problem - Please help.

[krayten]

Please help me to work this out!!

The code below is from my UserForm3 which is a simple form with
three textboxes, from which I need to gather some variables _for later
use_.

I am testing with gathering the variables ( hostname, UserID and pass )
then
I want to show message boxes showing their values ( on submit - at the
top ).

I'm a real newbie to xlvba and would really appreciate some help
regarding how to
get the values of a textbox "out" of it's own textbox change sub.

Thanks in advance!

Stuart


' On Submit
Sub CommandButton2_Click()
MsgBox hostname
MsgBox UserID
MsgBox pass

End Sub



' Cancel and clear
Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Unload UserForm3
UserForm3.Hide

End Sub

' Enter the hostname
Sub TextBox1_Change()
Dim hostname As String
hostname = TextBox1.Text

End Sub

' Enter the user id
Sub TextBox2_Change()
Dim UserID As String
UserID = TextBox2.Text

End Sub

' Enter the password
Sub TextBox3_Change()
Dim pass As String
pass = TextBox3.Text


End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Click()

End Sub

This goes in a general module--not behind the userform:

Option Explicit
Public HostName As String
Public UserID As String
Public Pass As String
Sub showTheForm()
UserForm1.Show
MsgBox HostName & vbLf & UserID & vbLf & Pass
End Sub

This goes behind the userform:

Option Explicit
Sub CommandButton3_Click()
HostName = Me.TextBox1.Text
UserID = Me.TextBox2.Text
Pass = Me.TextBox3.Text
Unload Me
End Sub

The variables are declared public, so they're visible to all the procedures.
(Check out scope and visibility in VBA's help.)

The me. stuff refers to the thing that owns the code. In this case it's the
userform.

You'll want to add some validation, too (I would suspect).
