I cannot figure out how to incorporate the number of days into the input box then get it to loop and count the number of times the User inputs in the number of days. Then I have to incorporate it into the equation to get the total distance D = MPH * Hours. What I have right now wil not count up the number of days and locks up after I input one number and will not add anything to the listbox. Because I also have to make sure that they cant add nonnumaric values and the number of hours per day cannot exceed 20. I have put things in and taken them out but it has been 2 days and I am lost now

Let's take a look at a specific section of code here...

Dim intEndCount As Integer ' Initialized to zero
Dim intEndHours As Integer ' Initialized to zero
Dim intNumberofHours As Integer = 1

strHours = InputBox(strInputMessage & intNumberofHours, strInputHeading, " ")

Do Until intEndCount > intEndHours Or strHours = strCancelClicked

In the code above, intEndCount and intEndHours are created as integers, but what value do they hold? They are initialized to zero.

So we have a variable called strCancelClicked which has been declared as an empty string.

Now let's assume you enter a value. This will mean strHours will not equal "" and so will enter the loop. It progresses through and increments intNumberOfHours by 1. It will then go out of the if statements and hit this next if statement....

If intNumberofHours <= intEndHours Then
     strHours = InputBox(strInputMessage & intNumberofHours, strInputHeading, " ")
End If

Now intNumberofHours will be 2 and intEndHours will be zero. Will 2 ever be less than or equal to 0? no, so you will never reach inside this if statement. It will go back to the top and strHours will still have the value originally typed in by the user and the whole loop will continue, never having reached a condition where that if statement will be true and strHours will be reset with another InputBox request.
