What is the error given? The code looks OK as long as material is a variable. Or did you want to insert "material"? Upvote 0

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 4, 2011 #3 You should tell us what error you get and what type of variable material is. I suppose that material is a numerical variable. Try Qtytxt .text = Qtytxt.text &" "& (material) Best regards. Upvote 0

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 5, 2011 #6 You should use: Qtytxt .text = Qtytxt.text &" some other text"& material If you want to add text which is not in a variable you must put it between quotes. Best regards. Upvote 0

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 5, 2011 #8 Sorry, but we are turning in circle. You must post the rest of the code and explain more in detail what you really want to do, so we could try to reproduce it and give you a concrete answer. What do you mean with a 'dynamic Label' ? Best regards. Upvote 0

S simonlee11 Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 9, 2011 #9 Sorry guys dont mean to waste your time I was using a text box to show the result but it is now shown in the label thats what i meant by dynamic. The question was really about how to display text before or after any variable. Thanks:sign0104: Upvote 0

This should work, not sure why m3 does not appear. Does the value of material get added, what happens if you remove the material part, or change "m3" to ""test"? replace the line with qtylab.text =qtylab.text &"TEST" - does that work Now try qtylab.text =qtylab.text & material - does that work What about qtylab.text =qtylab.text &"m3"& "TEST" What type of variable is material? try using a dummy variable of the same type eg (if material is a string: Dim dummy as string dummy = "DUMMY" qtylab.text =qtylab.text &"m3"& dummy - working?
