    Question Do while loop

    Can anyone please help me with a Do while Not loop.
    I'm very new to programming:

    I need to check and print a list, and limit it to 5 names.

    Do While Not rsP.EOF And iCount > 5
    sLT = sLT & rsP![Name] & vbNewLine
    iCount = iCount + 1
    rsP.MoveNext
    Loop

    If rsP.RecordCount > 5 Then
    sLT = sLT & "..."
    End If

    right now it will not print the list, if I take out iCount > 5, it prints, but I need to limit it to only 5 names maximum to print?
    Thanks

    The issue is with iCount > 5 , I just need to understand how can I get it to show if the sLT is less than 5 and if its over 5 than limits to show 5 names as maximum

    read your statement out loud...

    DO while NOT EOF and icount GREATER than 5..... erm... two choises here... not EOF as first and greater than 5 as second...

    you want : DO while NOT EOF and NOT icount GREATER than 5

    all your really missing is the brackets...

    Code:
    Do While Not (rsP.EOF And iCount > 5)

    Re: Do while loop

    Separate it:

    Code:
    Do While Not rsP.EOF 
      sLT = sLT & rsP![Name] & vbNewLine
        iCount = iCount + 1
        rsP.MoveNext
        If rsP.RecordCount Mod 5 Then ' every 5th time only
           sLT = sLT & "..."
        End If
    Loop

    Re: Do while loop

    Kind of confusing, still. I like my way.
    Plus, he wanted to print 5 per line, then a break, right?

    Re: Do while loop

    Another option would be to test only the eof condition in the do while portion and then use an exit do when icount reaches 5
