    sorry its early...
    Its a vb program and theres 3 buttons...
    Confirm-Next-Calculate

    the confirm button just adds the name and address etc and prints it out. then when the person presses this button I need it to say "X people are enrolled in this college".

    I've tried different ways but only the Do While loop works.

    Works in the sense that it adds 1 but obviously the user cant use the rest of the program until the loop has finished and then when the 2nd user, uses the program the loop has stopped.

    Have me lost on this one.

    User: Presses NEXT - adds name and address etc. Then displays message "1 person enrolled in college"

    So they press NEXT again and it adds name and address etc.
    Message "2 people enrolled in college"

    So what do you want to happen next?

    I'm not certain what your question is, as English does not appear to be your first language, but from what I read, what you might be looking for is a call to: 
    DoEvents

    DoEvents wont solve that problem.

    However, my sneaky suspicious brane tells me that this sounds ominously like a college project :)

    So....why dont you post what you have, and we can see what you're doing wrong. Much easier...

    He posted this issue to three threads; here as well as here and here.

    His/her problem appears to be with regard to basic variable scope in VB.

    If I read that right you're just trying to get the number of 'students' you've already entered... why not keep a counter as you go along?
    Dim Counter As Integer

    Private Sub cmdConfirm_Click()

    'do something

    Counter = Counter + 1
    MsgBox Counter & " people are enrolled in this college", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Student information"

    End Sub


    or if you were using , e.g. a listbox , you could do:
    MsgBox (Listbox.ListCount - 1) & " people are enrolled in this college", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Student information"

    Any help?
