Sample Size Errors

If I determine a sample size for a population at 95% confidence level. How do I go about rechecking any errors that come about. Say, how many more do I need to check to still be 95% confident in my findings?

Normally you fix the confidence and then determine the sample size, if I understand you want to know about the sample size for resampling.

I tink you will find this link enlighting.

One of the best publications about sampling (in my opinion).
