Can you please tell me how to do this when pushbutton1 is pushed it will
make editfield1 say 1 then if you push is agian is will make it say 2 and i
need to make it do that all the way to 5 please help
Thanks in advance

In pushbutton1's Action event:

dim foo as integer
foo=val(editfield1.text)
// Editfield1.text is whatever editfield1 is right now.
// It's text, so we use "val" to turn it into a number.

foo=foo+1
//We add one to it.

editfield1.text=str(foo)
// str(something) turns a number into a string.
// We do this because when we set an edit field to something, that something
has to be a string.

Now before anyone jumps on me, I know this can be done in a single line of
code, without a local variable. But I think this piece of code is more useful
for learning how REALbasic works...
