Hi People

I am trying to deign a form and excel.

I need a function to auto create a order number (basically a
function/formula that add 1 onto the previous order number when a new
order is created)

Hope that makes sence

Any help would be fab

Perhaps the simplest way is to hold the current order number as a
variable in a cell. Then with the event that triggers a new order, add
a line of code that increases the order number variable by 1.

So suppose your order numbers are are of the form ON1234, ON1235 etc,
where there is a prefix "ON" to a sequential number, and the variable
cell is named say "Onumber"

add a line of code

Range("Onumber")= "ON" & Right(Range("Onumber"), Len(Range("Onumber"))
- 2) + 1
