I want to make a formula that will take the "caption" of two "labels" which will both be numerical and add them together and change a caption of another label on another form to the sum ... how would i go about doing that keep in mind im a vb noob so i dont understand much

added: i no how to change the part on the other form i just need to know how to add really

The Caption of a Label is a string; to do mathematical operations on it, you will need a numerical datatype.
You will have to convert the the string by using the Val function to a numerical data-type.
e.g (Consider x as a defined variable with a numerical data-type like Double or Integer, etc..):
x = val(label1.caption)

... I'm sorry so would the correct way to do it be

label.caption = val(label.caption) + val(form2.label.caption)

or would i have to make a variant? ive tried using the var thing a million different ways i still cant seem to make it work

I appologize for being a bother...

label.caption = val(label.caption) + val(form2.label.caption)

No.
The label.caption on the LHS needs a string.
so it should be:

label.caption = Str((val(label.caption) + val(form2.label.caption))
