It is difficult to determine what may be happening especially since you use *three different* variables in the Do loop:
     Button1CounterValue = Button1CounterValue + 1
      Print CounterValueButton1
  ValueBox1.Value = ValueCounterButton1

First, you increment Button1CounterValue.
Then, you print CounterValueButton1; a different variable.
Finally, you assign the value of ValueCounterButton1; yet another different variable.

And, the example you linked to does not have any of that. Could you perhaps send a complete example project so we can better see 
what the overall environment is?
