Increment number by 1
 

Hey all.. I need help.. I think I am on the right track but I confused
myself..

I have a textbox 8 that has a number that is formatted like this...

JA00000

I want to, if OptionButton1 is selected, to auto increase the value of
Textbox8 by one, saving the time of haveing to enter the number in
when Im entering a lot of data.. here is what I have so far...

If OptionButton1.Value = True Then
'gets current Textbox8 value, assigns it a variable
NumInc = TextBox8.Value
'takes the right 5 digits of the value of textbox8
Number = Right(NumInc, 5)
'makes a newnumber by taking the 5 digits, adding 1
NewNumber = Number + 1
'for my t/s only :)
MsgBox (NewNumber)
End If

Now this does gleen the numbers, except the zeros.. how do I take this
number and add it back into the format JA00000 ??

If I ran it and I was entering item # JA00085, the troubleshooting
MsgBox would tell me the value of NewNumber is 86... I need it to put
in TextBox8, JA00086 ... and eventally, it will be moving over to
100's etc.. so I can't set it to put in JA000 + NewNumber ... It cant
be hardcoded, it has to take up all the digits into account, but if
there is only 2 digits in the number, I need the numbers preceding it
to be zeros..

Any ideas ??

Thanks for your Help!!!

try this:

Dim intNumber As Integer

With TextBox8
If OptionButton1.Value Then
intNumber = CInt(Replace(.Text, "JA", "")) + 1
.Text = "JA" & Format(intNumber, "00000")
End If
End With

This is a good example for learning to use "Format" in VBA. See the statement below

'-------------------------------
Dim NumInc As Strin
If OptionButton1.Value = True The
NumInc = Textbox8.Tex
NumInc = Left(NumInc, 2) & Format(Right(NumInc, Len(NumInc) - 2) + 1, "00000"
Textbox8.Text = NumIn
MsgBox (NumInc
End I

Hi,

On your example, this would work:

MsgBox Format (NewNumber, "JA00000")

Thanks, it worked great.. I will take your code and learn what it does,
and how it works, so I will know next time.

intNumber = CInt(Replace(.Text, "JA", "")) + 1
..Text = "JA" & Format(intNumber, "00000")

Is there any books that you suggest so I study to learn more indepth
excel?

Thanks again!
