So here is problem one - almost no one is going to download and run an EXE from someone they don't know. Secondly seeing the EXE run is not going to help anyone make much in the way of code suggestions.
One way you could do this is to save a running total in a file (look up streamreader and streamwriter) An other way is application settings (look up My.Settings)
Let us now if you need any additional help.
