When I go to view, toolbars, forms the toolbar opens but the 'toggle grid'
button are disabled.

When pasting the code, what shouldn't the sheet, workbook & cell address
be
changed to mine? If so exactly wher in the code?
Sorry for all the trouble. Can I just email the workbook to you?

of course you would need to put it in a sub like this, copy and paste

Sub Invoice_Number()
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = _
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value + 1
End Sub

JW69,

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the
workbook's
icon
and
pick View Code. This icon is at the top-left of the spreadsheet
this
will
open
the VBA editor, in Project Explorer click on your workbook name,
if
you
don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project Explorer, then go
to
insert,
module, and paste the code in the window that opens on the right
hand
side,
press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your workbook.
To
put
the button on your sheet, view, toolbars, forms, click on the
button
then
click on your sheet where you want the button, a box will come up
to
assign
a macro, pick this macro from the list, OK change the name on the
button if you want to, right click on it to do this. If you are
using
excel
2000 or newer you may have to
change the macro security settings to get the macro to run. To
change
the
security settings go to tools, macro, security, security level and
set
it to
medium


To change the number when you open the workbook

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the
workbook's
icon
and
pick View Code. This icon is at the top-left of the spreadsheet
this
will
open the VBA editor, in Project Explorer double click on
thisworkbook,
under
your workbook name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the
Project
Explorer, then, paste the code in the window that opens on the
right
hand
side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your
workbook,
now
this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are using
excel
2000
or newer you may have to change the macro security settings to get
the
macro
to run. To change the security settings go to tools, macro,
security,
security level and set it to medium

And if you are new to macros you may also what to have a look here

I don't know how to insert buttons so Paul B, you kinda lost me.

JW69,

A simple way would be to use something like this, you could
assign
it to
a
button, an open or before print event.
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = _
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value + 1

BUT, if you did save it as a temple, as you said, that want
work,
have a
look here for ways to do it
