On Excel Invoices it gives an invoice number-can be seq #'d???
 

I want to produce invoices(2 copies) that are sequencially numbered so that I
can keep up with them. Any way to do this or am I better off just keeping
excel spreadsheet to refer to.?

This will autonumber your invoice on opening. You can print 2 copies, and
save as the invoice number

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Const sAPPLICATION As String = "Excel"
Const sSECTION As String = "Invoice"
Const sKEY As String = "Inv_key"
Const nDEFAULT As Long = 1&
Dim nNumber As Long

With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
With .Range("H10")
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Value = Date
.NumberFormat = "dd mmm yyyy"
End If
End With
With .Range("H10")
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
nNumber = GetSetting(sAPPLICATION, sSECTION, sKEY,
nDEFAULT)
.NumberFormat = "@"
.Value = Format(nNumber, "0000")
SaveSetting sAPPLICATION, sSECTION, sKEY, nNumber + 1&
End If
End With
End With
End Sub

JE McGimpsey also shows a method that uses a .txt file to remember last used
inventory number and auto-increment (and discusses the method mentioned by
kassie) he

Note that in his example, sMYPATH is obviously a path that has been declared
somewhere else (in global declarations as a Const most likely) before this
routine is called.

Oops, my bad - it appears that .txt method was posted by Dick Kusleika rather
than by JE M. although I know that similar method has been attributed to JE
M. in the past. In either case, the method is the same, just wanted to give
credit where credit is properly due.
