Default Automaic Folder Numbering

David,

I have assumed the sheet name is Sheet1 - enter the starting number in cell B3 there, and run this
macro:

Sub CreateFolder()
Dim MyFilePath As String
Dim FolderC As Integer

MyFilePath = "C:\Globe Photo Engraving\Jobs\"
FolderC = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B3").Value
On Error GoTo FolderExists '<< in case folder exists
TryAgain:
MkDir MyFilePath & FolderC '<< create folder
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B3").Value = FolderC + 1
Msgbox "I just created the folder " & MyFilePath & FolderC
Exit Sub
FolderExists:
FolderC = FolderC + 1
Resume TryAgain
End Sub
