Mr. Phillips,
I cut and pasted your code as you said only when the macro fires it does
nothing and I cannot figure out why. I currently have 162 entries in my
worksheet and the macro does not create a sequence number for the in column A
at all. Now a couple of questions
1) the second line
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B:B" '<== change to suit
what does this line do and how do I call it?
2) In the following line is the word header supposed to be replaced with my
column header name?
Me.Range("A:G").Sort key1:=Me.Range("B1"), header:=xlYes
I understand most of the
vb language however I am still learning and
teaching myself to use it. Maybe explain the code for me what it is suppose
to do line by line?
Sorry to be such a pain.
Thanks

I have a worksheet that I am storing a list of manufacturers and there
addresses and phone info in, I have it set up this way.
A B C D E
F G
1 sequence ManName Address City State Zip
Phone
2 1 john doe 111 doe rd. nowhere AA 00000
(000)0000-0000
3 2 xxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xx
xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Now I would like the macro to fire when I type the ManName into the cell
and
create(autofill) cell A2 and on with the next sequencial number. In
addition
to that I would like the same macro to fire sorting the ManName column
keeping all the info with the sequence number when the worksheet is
closed.
