I'm not sure if i'm doing something that doesn't work, but why can't i seem
to get a static function to work the same as a static sub.

If i run the following code a few times, and i always use the number 1 as x,
i would think that the function should retain the previous value of "test",
and then just increment it by 1, but this isn't happening. "Test" always
returns as 1. I want this to work as a counter that other subs will pull from.

Static Function test(x As Integer) As Integer
test = test + x
End Function


thanks
