Default Count and Reset Button Clicks

Hello Experts.

I have a Yahtzee game with 2 buttons/2 macros.

One button (Roll Dice) rolls the dice (Calculate) and the second button
(Next Player) clears all checkboxes on the sheet.

However, I'd like to know if there's a way to disable the first button after
it's been clicked 3 times, then re-enable it once the second button is
clicked and start the count over...

Please advise.

I thank you for your time.

Default Count and Reset Button Clicks

We can use a Global variable to communicate between the two macros:

Dim IAmTheCount As Integer

Sub FirstButton()
If IsEmpty(IAmTheCount) Then
IAmTheCount = 0
End If
IAmTheCount = IAmTheCount + 1
If IAmTheCount 3 Then Exit Sub
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' your stuff
MsgBox "doing button #1 things"
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
End Sub


Sub SecondButton()
IAmTheCount = 0
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' your stuff
MsgBox "doing button #2 stuff"
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
End Sub


Once the first macro increments the count to three, it does not proceed.
The second macro clears the counter and allow the first macro to resume.

Alright, Student of Gary.

I'm all excited to try this. Thanks for explaining the pieces as well.

p.s. I'll be right back if I hit any snags.

But thanks again.

Gary's Student,

Perfect. But now you got me thinking. How can I make that message box pop
up ONLY after you've exceeded your 3 rolls, with a message like "Quit
Cheating, You Sonuva*&%@!"

I'll keep shuffling code around, but if you see this, let me know.

Thanks again!
