Default buttons on forms

Jabba,

Try declaring the variable X in the General Declarations portion of your
public module. Like this:

Public X As Integer

That should be all that is necessary, leaving your existing code for X in
place.

Probably something really simple but.....

I am using a form to display questions and ask for responses ("true" &
"false" on command buttons).
the form initiallises ok and the first question is displayed (populating a
label(caption)using offset and related to a worksheet "questions" where the
questions are in a column)
The sub for the "True" button includes a call to a public sub in a module
which has the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = y + 1
x = x + 1

form.Caption = "Question " & x
q = ActiveCell.Offset(x, 0).Text

form!question.Caption = q
form!Label1.Caption = x 'test for increase in variable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x is set to 1 on 'workbook open' and is used to offset for the questions and
number the form

The problem is that the command button only works once and the variable 'x'
does not increase when "true" is hit (i.e. it stays at 1)

How do i reset it please?
