Yo PD, Thanks for the reply! I get what you are saying, but I respectfully disagree. If anything, to me coding using windows forms and buttons really breaks up your code and makes you have to deal with scope, which is fundamental to everything else. Also, it never addresses the real issue of scope that I was having. Slapping me upside the head and saying, your reference to an object is still a VARIABLE, so quit treating it like an object would have taught me more than saying I shouldn't being programming in Windows Forms yet. But again, I do thank you for taking the time to reply at all and I welcome your help in the future!
