Incrementing a number

[neomulemi6]

This should be incredibly simple, and I don't know why I can't figure it out. I want my form to count the number of times a button has been clicked. As far as I can tell, Visual Basic has no increment operator, which is really stupid.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim intCounter As Integer
intCounter = 0
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
intCounter = intCounter + 1
End Sub

I've also tried different operators that work in other programming languages, such as intCounter++ and intCounter+=1, but none of them seem to work. Why doesn't this work? It's embarrassing that I can't figure this out.

The way you're incrementing the number is correct. It's how you've declared your variable. Try this

'Delcare this at the top of your form
Dim intCounter As Integer
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
intCounter = 0
End Sub Private
 
Sub Command1_Click()
intCounter = intCounter + 1
End Sub

Use Option Explicit in order to minimize occurrence, if not totally avoid, such errors.

That seems to work...
