How to use user input text in a form?

[xombie]

Hi.
Related to earlier post.
I have searched the forum and cannot seem to find anything that addresses this seemingly simple task.
I have created a user form with multiple text boxes for a user to input various paths. The form then takes the user input and converts it into a path which is used for an export module. The module runs and uses the input text string to output multiple files to the specified user input.
I am having an awful time trying to figure out how to get anything read from the input. I have even tried using a msgBox to return a value and it comes up blank. ( MsgBox frmentrpths.txt_PDF_Pth.Text) ( used in the Execute button Private Sub)
I have read through the guide provided by Corel which doesnt seem to cover this scenario. Maybe it is sooo easy they felt it not necessary... I just dont get it. Please help.

If you are not getting anything back, my guess is that your form is closed.

I would recommend you put a button on your form that wen you click on it that it would show you the value in the textbox.

If that works, then as I said, your form is most likely not open when you are trying to read data from it.

Happy Coding,
