Adding numbers in forms

6
I am trying to add the values I type in two textboxes on a form and i want it to display the answer in a label. I tried this code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click()
  3.   FATotal.Caption = Str(Val(FA1.Text) + Val(FA2.Text))
  4. End Sub
But I keep getting an error saying "You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.

Can somebody please help? Thanks.
