Default How do you create a macro to auto number in excel 2003

Delete that button (I think you used the wrong one)

Then View|Toolbars|show the Forms toolbar
And use the button from that toolbar.

Put the code in a general module--not behind the worksheet and not behind the
ThisWorkbook module.

Then show the Forms toolbar.
Plop a button from that toolbar onto the worksheet.

You'll be prompted to assign the macro--choose this macro.

If you have a button from the Forms toolbar already on the worksheet, you can
rightclick on it and choose Assign Macro.

Remember that this is the button from the Forms toolbar--not the commandbutton
from the Control toolbox toolbar.

I created a button and copied your code from below. I guess that I dont
know how to put the button on the workbook.

I'd create a dedicated macro and then put a button from the Forms toolbar onto
that sheet and assign the macro to this button.

Option Explicit
sub PrintMe()
with activesheet
if isnumeric(.range("I3").value) then
.range("I3").value = .range("I3").value + 1
.printout preview:=true
else
Beep
msgbox "I3 isn't a number!"
end if
end with
end sub

I would like to have excel auto number a new work sheet every time I print a
new sheet. The form that I have created has the page numbers in cell I3 and
only has to number from 7 to infinity.
