Here's an example where the loop counter is set outside the range. The
"For" loop code still needs to run its test.
5.5 is incremented by 1 to 6.5. The test now fails, and the code
continues...

Sub Demo()
Dim j
For j = 1 To 3
Debug.Print j
j = 5.5
Debug.Print j
Next j
Debug.Print j
End Sub

1
5.5
6.5

Hi,

I have the following simple loop where I want "i' to go from 1 to 3.

Sub test()
For i = 1 To 3
Debug.Print "Inside of the loop"; i
Next
Debug.Print "Outside of the loop"; i
End Sub


==Out put is ==
Inside of the loop 1
Inside of the loop 2
Inside of the loop 3
Outside of the loop 4


It does what I expect inside the loop. But, as soon as loop is completed
its
value increases by one to 4 although I see no reason for this. Why?
Anybody
has any answer for this?

Thanks.
