Why does my Loop end after 11 Loops?

@Dimster

But Steve's code, in his Recur subroutine, appears to have a successful counter working. 

Yes because he uses a SHARED variable declared into the main... in other words he uses one of the way to build a controlled recursive calling.

at 38# you can see

Code: (Select All)

DIM SHARED AS LONG DataCount

and  in recursive SUB

Code: (Select All)

IF DataCount = 0 THEN SEEK #1, 1 'move to the start of the file 'may need to change to 0 for 0 index counting

I hope to be clear and understandable
