It's hard to tell what's going wrong without knowing what's in your nextbtn.click method. I suspect that if it only works the first time, you are either forgetting to update the variable you use for parent.key, or you are refreshing the form before you recalculate.

But this is what I use (after the pointer has moved)-

sele child
count for child.key = parent.key to lnchildcount
sele parent
thisform.mytext1.value = lnchildcount
