A handy link for you:

By the way, you replace [textbox1] with the name of your textbox. Click the control and look in the NAME property to find the name of the textbox.

Well, I did replace the names but I'm absolute newbe in programming and never done anything like this before. Should we start from the beggining?

I've inserted the comman button. In properties went into Event Procedure and on 'click on' added this command.. Is that totally wrong? Should I do something completely different?

Thank you!

Ok...now it work just that I can't see it's the other way round....but please, if I want to copy multiple text boxes to multiple others, how do I do it

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Just copy that line of code you've already got in the subroutine and paste it in underneath. Repeat for the number of controls that need to be copied from, to,. Then replace the names as appropriate.
