How to automtically increase a number every time a file is used
 
With Excel, is it possible to generate automatically a sequence of number
that would increse by one (1) each time the file is used? As an example
generate a new invoice number increasing by one (1) for each new invoice. If
so, how is it done? Thank you for your help.

How to automtically increase a number every time a file is used
 
falcp, A simple way would be to use something like this, you could assign it
to a button, an open or before print event.
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = _
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value + 1

For other ways to do this or if this is going to be used in a temple have a
look here
