soo this code is to help make my life easier at work, it interacts with a microsoft access document.  clicks a button to input data, then i have my script input into based on what the use has in 2 input fields.

my issue is it seems to run the for x loop an extra time unwantedly and the information is wrong.

 

what it looks like before i run it:

 

 

 

my issue is it send the 049 again on the next record (record 50).  not sure why.

(sorry i had to black out stuff due to it being related to company info) - none of it is important to the script

 

it was working find without the gui, everything seemed to stop working after i added the gui, im not sure what i did wrong as i feel it should work without running the for x loop again

wow, sometimes all you need to do is take a break.

 

walked away for a hour to eat lunch, to come back and fix my script.

idk why i had:

 If $sendnum= 1 Then
        $sendnum = 0
        inputTipNum()
    EndIf
