    Nope. Since it follows the IF statement, VB evaluates TextBox1.Text=1 as a conditional expression (I don't know if it results in a run-time error).

    Yes. :)

    It shouldn't; nearly all flavors of VB automatically coerce numerics into strings.

    Please don't bother me... I'm hacking right now. Don't look at me like that - doesn't anybody remember what "hacking" really means? :sigh:

      I was quite confident about too, but my VBA actually doesn't like the mix. Unfortunately I have no VB6 at hand. :)

        Really? Works fine for me in Access 2003. It will throw an error if Textbox1 is empty, since you can't coerce a comparison with an empty string (or a null).

            No, we deported her and her friend cause they didn't skilled and they did lots of such mistakes ( I remember their nightmare creatures ). For example she named a function to something like this "girgo". X| Because of this naming, my friends named her "girgo". :laugh: Now the corporation focused on C#

                                This kind of thing is standard shortcut syntax in COBOL (or was when I last used COBOL many years ago): IF X = 1 OR 2 THEN... is the same as IF X = 1 OR X = 2 THEN... The big gotcha comes when you add a NOT into the mix. All new COBOL programmers would at some point write a statement like: IF X NOT = 1 OR 2 THEN.. which unfortunately expands to IF X NOT = 1 OR X NOT = 2 THEN.. so the condition is always satisfied. Some of those beginners learn from the experience and don't make the mistake again. Others, however....
