How do you say within the code of a form say
If blah = blahblah then
goto private sub example ()
because when I say goto private sub example()
private becomes underlined in blue and sais 'identifier expected' in error list
do I have to declare the sub
or can you not write your own sub e.g private sub whatever_i_want ()
...
I need to know because I have lots of the same stuff to write and I'm sick of copying and pasting. and when I build it it goes really slow.
Goto????

// do I have to declare the sub
yes
And moreover, goto is used to go between parts of code within a single function. It's not used to call other functions. Instead, you need to declare your sub in the proper place, and in this example, just put example() to call it.
// or can you not write your own sub e.g private sub whatever_i_want ()
No, this is programming, and so it has rules. If you could just whack code where-ever you felt like it, instead of in an ordered way, the compiler would have to work a lot harder, and so would anyone who ever had to read your code. You cannot nest functions, you need to write each function within a class at the same level, unless you use anonymous methods, in which case the code is not named. In most cases, you should not do this, for readability reasons.
// I need to know because I have lots of the same stuff to write and I'm sick of copying and pasting.
Well, that would indicate that you're doing it wrong. You should define one function that takes parameters and then call that, not copy and paste the same bit of code over and over.
