How can we know as you don't tell us how you call the sub?

Post the code you use to create the new object (the constructor call).
 
'this is the constructor from the course class,

Public Sub New(ByVal JobTitle As String, ByVal NumberOfEmployees As Integer)
Me.iJobTitle = JobTitle
Me.iNumberOfEmployees = NumberOfEmployees
Me.iFreeOfCharge = ""
End Sub

And how do you call it? Where does the error occur?

The question was how the sub is called, i.e. what is the code to create the
object?
 
Hi portroe,

Probably you create the object as this
dim myCourse as New course()
while it has to be
dim myCourse as New course("Programmers",1000)

Just a gues?

Post the line where the error occurs (must be something like '... New
SomeType(...)'. Maybe you are missing to specify a parameter value or
you are passing wring data.

the error occurs in the following line

Dim MyCourse As New Course()

Quite right too.
Your Course class "Constructor" (Sub New) is declared as taking
two arguments, JobTitle and NumberOfEmployees. That means
that *every* time you want to create an object of type Course,
you *must* supply both arguments. In this code, you haven't, so
it won't compile.

If you really /want/ to be able to create Course objects /without/
specifying these arguments (and I /don't/ think you do), then add
another Sub New to the Course Class that takes no arguments.

HTH,

Thanks guys that was it,

The new object demands the numberofemployees
this I had defined by the constructor, but no value is assigned to the
Object “MyCourse”.

OO Programming has a steep learning curve at the beginning,
