If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to change the name of a textbox to a name already in use.
If that is the case, change your naming convention: instead of naming them 'textbox1' through 'textbox180', use something like 'txtbox1' through 'txtbox180'.
Since these objects should not already exist, you won't have a problem.

Well, your basic problem is that your UI sucks. Use a grid if you want a grid. Don't use 180 text boxes if they don't represent a grid.
The other problem is that your naming convention sucks, and that if you want to set the names of your controls, you should do it in the designer, or if you're dynamically creating them, you should put them where you want them in the first place.

I would bet you would be better off doing something like using an image of the seating chart as the background of the Form and handling the click event of the form. Get the mouse corrodinates to deterime which seat was clicked. You would have to do some math so you know how big the x and y range is for each seat but I bet you could figure if each seat is 10 X 10 points, for example, and your mouse click was at x y you could find which seat was clicked. I have never done this but that would be the first thing I look at.

Use the 'Beep' function.
Code sample from Help.
Dim I As Integer<br />
For I = 1 To 100 ' Loop 100 times.<br />
Beep ' Sound a tone.<br />
Next I<br />

Originally, you asked how to beep on alert. Question answered.
If you want to play a WAV file, use the following (modified from version in Help)
<br />
Dim player As New SoundPlayer<br />
<br />
Try<br />
' Assign the selected file's path to the SoundPlayer object.<br />
player.SoundLocation = "C:\Program Files\NetMeeting\TestSnd.wav"<br />
<br />
' Load the .wav file.<br />
player.Load()<br />
player.Play()<br />
Catch ex As Exception<br />
SendToLogText(ex.Message)<br />
End Try<br />

There is another way with Visual Studio 2005 that is really easy:
My.Computer.Audio.PlaySystemSound(Media.SystemSounds.Beep)
or
My.Computer.Audio.Play("C:\MySound.wav")
(So if you don't have VS2005 I'm sorry to waste your time)

does anybody know how to copy and paste text boxes when not in screen as it only copies the text boxes that are in screen

Don't tell me you're actually going ahead with 300+ TextBox's on a form? Bad, really bad, idea.

Hi
Is there a way in vb6 to convert a string to an integer. The string I have will always be numbers. I need to do some maths on the string.

Thanks. There is also one other thing when I try get the filelen of a file that is about 3gb in size it returns a -value that is no were near the correct size. This is waht I need to do the math on but can't because of the incorrect value given by filelen
|
|
|
|
|
FileLen, since it's return value is a Long (32-bit signed Integer), will only work with files that are less that 2 GB in size. For anything larger, you'll have to call into the Win32 API to get the file size. Discussion[^].

CInt or CLng will also work.

Hi

How will i do this ??

That depends on how much information and what type you want to send. If its a small amount, then you could send it as a command line argument. If it's more, then you can either use a seperate file or an advanced technique like .NET Remoting.

It is just 2 fields, date and time. I never used a command line. Do you have any example ?
By the way, they are in string format.

Remember that at the end of the day your VB.Net program is a exe file. So you can pass arguments to it like other exe file.
You can search on Google for handling command line arguments. About the data type of the arguments, it is a good idea to always consider them as strings and typecast them in the receiving code.
