For you to even need to ask this, means you didn't both even trying anything and have no idea about VB syntax or programming. Buy a book and read it. Do not learn VB6, it is obsolete. Also, try to give your question a real subject. Your tag says you're using VB, and we know you need help

Solution 1

Remove the comma and it should work fine. You need to concatenate the two strings together. You can do that with either + and &, where & is most efficient.

MsgBox("Your name is" & txtyourname.Text)

Good luck!

Did this question get answered, looks like there was question behind different ways to show a display box?

You can do a timed form which is much like a splash screen, you could also do a messagebox with a sleep which most people don't like to use because of the frozen thread.
