Default INCLUDING A RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR FIELD

I have created a PO form in Excel and I need to have a field generate a 6
digit random number on the form so it has a unique PO# each time.

Random is bad because yo will need to track which values have already been
used. Why not start with 100000 and just increment each time

Increment would be fine, but how do I set it up? I want it to either print
the incremental number (incrementing up each time I print), or change each
time I open it.
