however, no matter how many times i click the 'count' is remind at 0 and is supposed to change to 1 when count is 0.

so what is the data type that can store and hold(which is count = 1) until the application close. I did tired out using tempvar, unfortunately, its not working too..

Declare count at the top outside the sub routine

I reckon static is better. The scope is smaller

[humdingaling]

static wont pass variable if OP wants to use it in another Sub
not sure why they would though and even if they did they could pass it when they call it i guess

anyway both options there now

That's kind of the point with keeping scope as small as possible. Generally it's not a good thing to give variables more scope than they absolutely need.

although static is working to store and hold the count from 0 to 1. my logic doesnt flow as it is.

I wanted to create log in form that would counter check, if the user had a security answer stored in the database, if no, the counter were remain as 0 and will prompt user to key in the security answer. and if yes, it would by pass the security answer and log into the main page staright away.
