I find the idea of using a random number function to generate invoice numbers intriguing and certainly not intuitive. See, however, J.E. McGimpsey's suggestions at: Using sequential numbers http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/udfs/sequentialnums.html --- Regards. Norman "chrisbmo2000" wrote in message ...

Hi Chris,
Sounds like Norman's tip has helped your problem. Please don't be offended by my flippant remark, your use of rand() is just a little unusual.<g Sincerely Martin "chrisbmo2000" wrote in message ... it was the only function that i could readly find to make numbers but it is very inconsistant thanks for your help chris "Norman Jones" wrote: Hi Martin, Intriguing to say the least, the mind boggles at how the filing system works.<g I have seen many (apparently) random filing systems! <g --- Regards.
