Hi DDBE
sorry for my raw question...
Do you have any experience of event driven programming?
As you said the VB course has give to you very few informations.
Inform need to think in this kind of programming.
my suggestion is
1.
Please make a separate SUB into paste your code to calculate the dominance as you have done for Quicksort and Display. You can call it just typing under SELECT CASE iditem of __UI_Click (id item) the call to the SUBroutine
here an example
Calculation
....
sun$ = GetItem$(DropdownList_sunSign, Control(DropdownList_sunSign).Value)
sun_House
= VAL(GetItem$
(DropdownList_sunHouse
, Control
(DropdownList_sunHouse
).Value
)) moon$ = GetItem$(DropdownList_moonSign, Control(DropdownList_moonSign).Value)
moon_House
= VAL(GetItem$
(DropdownList_moonHouse
, Control
(DropdownList_moonHouse
).Value
)) ascendent$ = GetItem$(DropdownList_ascendantSign, Control(DropdownList_ascendantSign).Value)
'MC$ = VAL(GetItem$(DropdownList_MCSign, Control(DropdownList_MCSign).Value))
mercury$ = GetItem$(DropdownList_mercuryHouse, Control(DropdownList_mercuryHouse).Value)
....
2.
please cancel every PRINT statement if you want a more window style output
3.
to give instructions to user you can use the old way to make a splashscreen ( a separate window that gives informations to use the program) or the more suitable Tooltip property of each component of window of your program.

going to your state of developing your project....
1. is your project a simple calculator ?
2. Do you like the manual entry data or also a direct input from clipboard or file or string ?
(Here I call Entry data the position of the planets in the astrological chart that you specify Sun in Taurus and 1 house Moon in Gemini and 10 house .....)
3. do you want to bring to clipboard all the informations calculated or just any of them?
3.1 Do you need of clipboard or you can use a file temporary to pass information in text format?
Is this a step to draw and print on paper or on file image the native astrological chart?
I hope that you have traced a path before starting this adventure and you aren't going on only by attempts because it is an ambitiouse goal so please
First projecting Second verifying Third typing code... so if a language or your skill in that language is not enough you can port your idea anywhere! ;)
But moreover you can use the help of this community in constructive manner.
PS statement at line 117 is an absurdum because that is the click event and must be activate when there is a click in the window of program, there is no reason to hack its calling in this manner, to activate that sub _Event simply click on the button! If it doesn't work it is clear that you have messed the nameId of components so the GOpart1 is not button1. If you know the ID name of your component you must open the box of .FRM file and search into it for the buttons items and write somewhere these names that you must use in SUB event to manage the actions activated by these components.
Good Luck
