Hi Otto and Gord,

Many thanks for replying... what I basically want to happen is, I have
generated a self made invoice template, I want it to for example open and
start at #1 I then write the invoice and save it to my customers file. i then
need to produce another invoice and its becomes #2 and so on...

Hope that makes sence

This is pretty simple except for one thing. What constitutes "a new
invoice is generated"? Excel can react automatically to many "events" and
do whatever you want when the "event" occurs. So when do you want the new
number assigned? Maybe when a specific cell gets an entry? Maybe when you
print the invoice? Maybe something else? HTH Otto
