Hi Norman
Sorry but I do not fully understand the macro. I have an Excel wookbook and in worksheet named "Sheet1" in cell I6 I wish to insert an new order number each time the workbook is opened that is the last PO number +1. I cannot see what to do with the link that you kindly sent to me. Can you help me further? Cheers Allan "Norman Jones" wrote: Hi Allan, See J.E.

Hi Norman,
I am working with the VBA code that you've refered many people to and it kinda works. The date function works however the sequential numbering is not working. I've looked at the code over and over again and there are no errors according to the editor. I'm using Excel 2000 and trying to create my own invoice template. below is the code i'm using. Thank you Ken Sub INVOICE_NUMBER() Const sAPPLICATION As String = "Excel" Const sSECTION As String = "Invoice" Const sKEY As String = "Invoice_key" Const nDEFAULT As Long = 1& Dim nNumber As Long With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Invoice") With .Range("E3") If IsEmpty(.Value) Then .Value = Date .NumberFormat = "dd mmm yyyy" End If End With With .Range("E4") 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 "Norman Jones" wrote: Hi Allan, If you are unfamiliar with macros, see the notes by JE McGimpsey on another page of his site: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/index.html#usingvba Also see David McRitchie's 'Getting Started With Macros And User Defined Functions at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm If you are still experiencing problems, post back. --- Regards, Norman "Allan" wrote in message ...

You may want to be more specific about what "not working" means.

Hi Dave,
All that comes up in cell E4 is a blank. is there something I did wrong with the coding?

The code worked fine for me.
You are looking at E4 of the Invoice worksheet, right? In JE's code, his procedure was named Workbook_Open (and that is located behind the ThisWorkbook module). That means that each time this workbook was opened, the code would run. If the cell was empty (B1 in JE's code, E4 in yours), then that cell will get the value of what's found in the registry plus 1. Since you renamed the procedure (and I assume that you moved it to a general module), how does your code get run? Do you have a button on the worksheet that runs the code?
