for some reson if i enter 5 it shows up as old????

Because Text1.Text is a string and you are treating it like an integer... use
Select Case Val(Text1.Text)

Squidge

so what exactly does that code u give do? that is differant sorry about this

Squidge

also when i enter a letter i get the to young result is there a way to avoid this?

Val(Text1.Text) gets the value located in the Textbox.
If the textbox has "35" as a string, Val() returns 35 as a number.

If the textbox has "5eoinfor...etc.", Val() returns 5.

If the textbox has "Hello", Val() returns 0.

For the too young idea, you'd want to check using the IsNumeric function.
The IsNumeric function will return a Boolean if the stuff inside of a string can be expressed as a number
IsNumeric("1004") = True
ISNumeric("Hello") = False
IsNumeric("3.1415926") = True
IsNumeric("3.1415abcde") = False
If IsNumeric(Text1.Text) Then
Select Case Val(Text1.Text)
