Ok, I also have a friend who needs help with a memory program (the flip two cards and match them memory card game)...

"I have the entire game nearly done except for one major problem. I have it so there are 16 cards... 8 matches total. At the form load the cards are randomly shuffled and placed... face down. Now I need to use the flag variable blnFirstTurn to determine when I click a card if it's my first card or second card turned over. At the beginning, the flag is true. After the first card is picked, it's changed to false. The cards are in a control array, and the variable intFirstPick is set equal to the Index of the control. At the end of the procedure blnFirstTurn is set to false. Then when it is clicked again, an If statement calls a sub procedure to test for a match. My problem is that when I click the first and second cards, it works. Then the second card I picked is being saved like it's the first card picked for the next turn. Can anyone help and maybe give me some helpful code?"

When you say first turn, you mean first turn in a pair, right? So you'd pick two cards, and then when you pick another card it's considered the "first turn"?

If so, why not just use:

If blnFirstTurn = True Then
blnFirstTurn = False
Else
blnFirstTurn = True
End If

(This would be in the procedure called when you click on a card) I'm not sure if this is even what you're talking about, but a look at the code that isn't working would help.

Yeah, same here. Could you give a step by step example and the vlues of blnFirstTurn for each step?

I think what you want is

If blnFirstTurn=False Then
[2nd card code here]
blnFirstTurn=True ` <---Did you forget this line?
End If

just follow that and you should find what ever you needed
if you paste it into vb it will be easlier to read
