Add 1 to a counter when a button is pushed?

[Rastamon]

I would like to create a counter, which advances by 1 each time a button is
pushed.

Add to your Event or Macro for when the button is pushed to run an update
query on a number field in your counter table to update NumberField +1.

Rastamon,

Assuming Karl meant to use an OpeQuery action in the macro, his
suggested solution would work well, assuming the counter field in in a
table.

If, on the other hand, you are referring to an unbound control on a
form, you could use a SetValue action, with the arguments set like this...
Item: [NameOfCounterTextbox]
Expression: [NameOfCounterTextbox]+1

Thanks Karl and Steve. I have discovered that I can do it easier in Excel by
using a spinner button. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
