It sounds like the problem is your use of "This" to reference your application object. If you are calling from within a method in your form, "This" will reference the parent control for the method where that code is written. Try it this way.

In the Init method of the text box, put:

This.Value = oApp.cUserName

From within the form, you have to specify the name of your application object. If you need to put the code in some other control, then use "ThisForm.txt_MyTextBox.Vaue" instead of "This.Value".

Hope that helps.
