I am new to VB, and iam trying with a program that displays the time difference between start time button click and end time button clik,
everything seems to be proper but when i run this programme iam getting this error at StartTime button click
---------------------------
Compile error:

Method or data member not found
---------------------------

and it indicates the following line
lblStart.Caption = Format(StartTime, "hh:mm:ss")

the code is
Sub cmdStart_Click()
    StartTime = Now
    lblStart.Caption = Format(StartTime, "hh:mm:ss") <-- getting
    lblEnd.Caption= "" struck here
    lblElapsed.Caption = ""
End Sub

the solution might be very simple but iam madly stuck here
Plz help me!

My guess is that you are using a textbox rather than a Label control for your label. The label control has a property of Caption you use to display the text you want to display, where the textbox has a property named Text.

The error you are getting is an error that will occur when the compiler cannot find the Method or Property (also known as a data member) that you are trying to use.

Since a label control DOES have a Caption property, there is a good chance that you are mistakenly using the wrong control.

That is where I suggest you look first.
