You are starting in row 5 so i which starts at a value of 1 needs to be
increased to select correct row. Therefore 1 + 4 = 5 then each time the code
loops i is incremented by 1 which returns the next rows value.

If you add more buttons but starting row remains the same, just increase the
last number of the For loop to match - in your new case, the value is 10.

Thanks jb!!
I don't understand why the 4 is in the last line. I made 10 buttons
all together, so I changed the coding to reflect this. At 1st, I
changed the 5 in the 1st line to 10, and the 4 to a 9. That was the
logic I saw. It didn't work. When I left the 4 alone, it worked fine
for all 10 buttons. I'll have to learn more about this to know why
that 4 works with all 10 buttons.
I appreciate your time and effort.
thanks
