Hi,

There may not be a way to do this, as I can't find any such reference.
I'll try to explain as best as I can:

There are no tables or queries at this point.

The form has 2 text boxes.

In one, you type a value, and it then gets converted to another value
into the other text box.

All works fine at this point.

I added a button to increment the value you type by 1.

It does this on the fly, as it should. Great.

Now, I'd like to change the code in the button that adds 1 to the
value you've typed in the first box, to continually add 1 the result,
incrementing the value automatically, without having to click the
button each time you want to increment by 1.

Can someone help ? Is there just such an Access example someone on
the web, that I can see ?

Thanks,
Jim
 
Assuming you are using long integer data type and you don't set a limit, you
will increment until the textbox has a value of approximately 2.1 billion. If
you want to have a limit, then the question is why not just set the textbox
equal to that limit.
