Did you create Sub for the button click by any chance?

is one of you labels called "label1"? if so you can't use it for the name of your integer.
From what you have asked you have 3 labels likely called "label1", "label2" and "label3" the 3 textboxes will also have similar names. "Textbox1" etc.
you can't use any of these name when decalring values.

From memory you want to declare 3 variables and then make their values whatever is in the text box

This isnt the exact code and I cant tell you off the top of my head because its been a LONG time since I did anything like this but you have to do it like this from memory:

Private Sub Command1_Click ( )

Dim no1 as integer
Dim no2 as integer
Dim no3 as integer

no1 = "Whatever is in box 1"
no2 = "Whatever is in box 2"
no3 = "Whatever is in box 3"

print no1 + no2 + no3 in the box you have for the answer.

Basically the label of the boxes is NOT your variable name, they are the box name. You can show the data of a variable in these boxes or you can make a variable take it's value from whatever is in these boxes but you cant make the box itself a variable.
