Hi. Sorry if you get this message twice. I got confused about which email address was subscribed to this list and the one I did originally send it to was the wrong one. I'm assuming it won't get through so i'm going ahead and sending through the proper address. I've been messing around with visual basic express addition 2008, reading help files and things like that to learn a thing or two. I've hit a little issue I can't figure out how to get around. I want to take the button I have on my form, and I want to be able to look at a list of events available for the button and choose one. The help instructs me to add my button to my form, then open the code editer. It says there's a drop down box at the top left and the top right of the screen. It says the top left drop down box will list the controls on my form so button1, and have a couple extras like form1 and general. It said make sure button1 is selected, and on the right drop down box you get a list of events for that button e.g. clicking the button, moving the mouse over it, moving the mouse away, etc. But when I go to the code editer f7 after adding my button, I find that i'm unable to move out of the text area with the code code in it. I can look around with the jaws cursor just under the menu bar I found the word general, at the beginning of one of the lines, and the help says that's one of the options that will be in that left drop down box that lists the controls on my form. That computes, but what i'm wondering is, how can I do this? I seam to be unable to get into these drop down boxes because i'm actually stuck in the code edite's text area. I can't find alternative ways to do this from the menus. Any suggestions? Thanks Regards: Aaron T.
