error checking

[bentley]

ok i have the following line of code

Do While intBase < 2 Or intBase > 9

MsgBox("Error, Try Again")

intBase = txtBase.Text

Loop

i can seem to get the program to pause and let the user enter another set of data. can anyone help me out with my problem?

Well your code might work if you find a user that i fast enough to change the value of the textbox before the loop gets back to that msgbox.

Just kidding.

Is it possible for you to code this on any Event? For example the Changed event or the Validating event?

i just want the user to enter the new data. I just dont know how to do that. To get the program to actually let the user enter the data and pause. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure about what you mean, but if you use a code similar to the one below you will prompt the user when the textbox gets validated.

Private Sub TextBox1_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Validating
    If IsNumeric(TextBox1.Text) Then
        If CInt(TextBox1.Text) < 2 Or CInt(TextBox1.Text) > 9 Then
            MsgBox("Eyyy, wrong number!")
        End If
    End If
End Sub
