    Could you be more specific with your question or are you just looking for someone to do your homework for you?

    Well I am looking for some place for help with the project and I am not looking for you do do it for me. The project is aobut a currency converter and it has a password on it. You have 3 attemts on the password. I am using the read data statement .It works fine for the first attempt and the problem lies when I enter the correct information after the first attempt it does not let me go to the converter even though the user name and pass is correct. I also use the for and next statement and I get out of data after i enter a few incorrect usernames and passwords. No doubt this is easy for you but any help I appreciate

    Not that easy - it's been seven or so years since I touched QBasic ;)

    Still, from the requirements you've given, it appears to be a fairly basic application that makes use of very few commands/operators, so I'd break down the app like this:
    1. Loop three times using FOR... NEXT. Check for the password using INPUT and if correct break out of the loop (AFAIR you can do this with QBasic, otherwise use a variable to denote wheither the password's been given correctly and, using this as a flag, ignore subsequent INPUTs)
    2. Take in your currency values using INPUT again. Calculate the new value and then PRINT it to the buffer.
    Hope this helps.
