It's not about war, it's about VB programming so somewhat on
topic..

  I wrote a label making program which creates a text file to be
printed on 4X12 label paper...
 It has 5 textboxes each with maxlenth set to 28. And a button
to process (makes text file). It also has 3 other buttons on the
bottom which set the textbox alignments to left, center, or
right justified...

 The problem is after you enter in 28 chars you get the beep
saying it's too many chars(good thing). However I noticed by
accident if you click any of the alignment buttons then go add
more text it will let you(bad thing). Something about clicking
any of those buttons cancels out the maxchars property...
 I added 5 statments text(1-5).maxlength = 28 to the end of my 3
alignment button subs. Still it lets you add more text only
after clicking any alignment button.
 For debugging pourposes I added a picbox at the bottom and had
it print the text1.lenth and text1.maxlength properties anytime
text is entered in to the box. The maxlenth always stays at 28,
as you enter text the text.length keeps going up as it should,
er as it shouldn't(becuse it's greater then the max length
allowd).

 In short if that's still possible, is anyone out there a VB
Junkie, or likes a good challege?
 If you want code, or any quesstions answered please mail me
before I pull my hair out...

ps.  I don't think it's a problem with my alignment sub, as it
doens't do anything big. All those maxlegths are in there as a
test I did to see if that effected anything. It didn't :(

    Private Sub Center_Click()
    text1.maxlenth = 28
    Text1.Alignment = vbCenter
    text1.maxlenth = 28
    Text2.Alignment = vbCenter
    Text3.Alignment = vbCenter
    Text4.Alignment = vbCenter
    Text5.Alignment = vbCenter
    text1.maxlenth = 28
    End Sub
