Adding a version number to a document
 
Is it possible to add a version number to a workbook on saving and closing

Kassie

Hi Tigsboy

Yes it is possible. You can manually change the name of the document, e.g.
from Draftv1.xls to Draftv1.1.xls.

Or else, you can use a macro to increment your version number every time you
save it

Good afternoon Tigsboy

You will need a macro to do this for you, but just to put you on the
right track:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
With Range("A1")
.Value = .Value + 1
End With
End Sub

This routine when placed in the ThisWorkbook portion of the VBE will
increment the value in cell A1 by 1 everytime the workbook is closed
