the problem is one of referencing the containership.

You put these two objects (controls) in a form. I assume you put the code in the button's Click() method.

The Button's method does not know where to find the textbox.

Reference it this way:

ThisForm.txtbox1.value = "Test"

ThisForm refers to the containing form. This refers to the object you are dealing with (like Me in VB)

Note: in VFP we use the Value property for textboxes.
