There are two errors in this statement. The first error is a syntax error, because ".Txt" should be changed to ".Text" to correctly reference the text property of the txtAverage text box. The second error is a logic error, because the order of operations is incorrect. The average should be calculated first by adding the two numbers together and dividing by 2, so parentheses should be added around (CDbl(txtNum1.Text) + CDbl(txtNum2.Text)) to ensure that this calculation is done first.
