Using VB to find how many times 2 words appear in the same sentence together?

Yes, thats correct diglienna,

Here is 2 Lines:

"Jake is going to town with Alexa." <-Jake and Alexa both appear on this line there for the count would be 1 occurance of Jake and Alexa on one line.

Jake is also going with Sam. <- ALEXA does not appear in this sentence therefore I would not want that occurance of Jake to be counted.

Is Jake and Alex different from Alex and Jake?

"Jake is going to town with Alexa." <-Jake and Alexa both appear on this line there for the count would be 1 occurance of Jake and Alexa on one line.

Jake is also going with Sam. <- ALEXA does not appear in this sentence therefore I would not want that occurance of Jake to be counted.

OK, but in the above 2 lines the words "Jake" and "is" occurs on both lines so would that be considered a pair? Or the words "is" and "with" or "Jake" and "with". You must have some rules for what should be considered a pair and which words that shouldn't The word "going" also appears on both lines so maybe "is" and "going" is a pair. Or "going" and "Jake"...
