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 "cjw064" wrote in message ...

Is your Invoice workbook a true Template(*.xlt) or just a copied sheet?
As Otto points out..........when do you want the number incremented? I will point you to JE McGimpsey's site for some code to generate a new number when workbook is opened. http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/udfs/sequentialnums.html Post back for more assistance if required.

As I said before, Excel needs to know when to increment the number. Let's work on that only for now. You say you "save it to my customers file". That might be an event we can use. Exactly what do you do when you "save it to my customers file". Don't generalize. Tell me "I hit this key", "I click on that button", etc, etc, etc. Otto "cjw064" wrote in message ...

You are saying the invoice template is a real Template(*.xlt) or (*.xltx)
and not just a copied sheet? In that case see McGimpsey's site.
