For future readability format your code, something like this
also put more liberal comments to the right. Its easier
to read the comments while your still can see the code.
The names of your variables should be a little clearer also.
What is thisform.i? Text4.Value doesn't mean much to someone
trying to decipher your code. I realize you want help with
the code as soon as possible and you typed this out very
quickly, but you have to make it easier for the person helping
you as well.
