    I hope this isn't you homework ;)

    Anyway, first message I got was Must have start up form or sub main. Sub Main is a method that starts your program. Start up form means that a form load event starts your program. Go for Sub Main, it goes into a .bas file.

    I don't understand why you have a timer on the form, its displaying the last answer apparently but why a timer?

    Other than that it seems to be working fine.

    [hint]
    If I were to do the same project I'd use control arrays for the buttons and base their values on their array index. College Tutors would be impressed.

    Right, the control array:

    for your number buttons create a button called cmdNumber. Give it a label of 0. Copy and then paste cmdNumber. You will be asked if you want to create a control array. Say yes, this will paste a new button called cmdNumber[1]. [1] being it's index, label this 1. Paste again, this will create a button called cmdNumber[2], label this 2. Your original button will have an index of 0. You're probably getting the idea now.

    this is how the events will appear in code: 
    [COLOR=royalblue]Private Sub[/COLOR] cmdNumber_Click(Index [COLOR=royalblue]As Integer[/COLOR])

End Sub

    There is only one method for all the buttons in the array. Index as Integer is the array index so if the user clicks 2 then the index will have a value of 2, click 8 then the index is valued 8. For the likes of equals and +/-. Well try and work something out and come back if you get stuck, I'd use a different array for these though.

    Hope this helps, I've only tried to start you off here as you'll learn a lot more if you work it out for yourself.
