Would appreciate general guidance/comment for the following
possibility, please:

I've been asked if I could set up a facility to 'standardise' the
way in which users on a small peer to peer network place
their purchase orders......currently each user has developed
their own, individual system!

If this hasn't been done before, then my initial thoughts are as
follows:

1. Create the Master purchase order in an excel sheet.
2. Save the workbook as a Template.
3. One Cell (say "A5") would contain the Primary purchase no.
4. Each time a copy of the sheet is opened, Workbook/Worksheet
Change Event code would automatically add '1' to cell "A5".
5. Users would enter job-specific purchase order numbers in "A6"
such that a typical entry might be: 00101/ 55321
"A5" "A6"
6. Users would access the Order form via a menu item, and when
the Order form is displayed, there would need to be a 'save/
cancel' button. If cancel, then reset the number in the Template.
If save, then allow user to browse to a folder of their choice
and save, but also save to a default folder (so that a record of
all purchase orders is maintained).

Is this feasible? Is it already available somewhere?
Any help/thoughts much appreciated.

Regards.
