I have the following code:

Dim abc As New AboutBox.clsAbout
abc.ClientApp = System.Windows.Forms.Application

When it executes I get an error

"Application is a type in 'forms' and cannot be used as an expression"

I am completely stumped as to what this means.

Thanks in Advance,

Larry

It means that Application is a type name, not an expression.

You can also not write

Dim i As Integer
i = String

because String is a type name, not a value. You would have to write

i = 17

Use 'Application.ProductName' instead.
