HOW DO INSERT AN AUTONUMBER INTO AN INVOICE TEMPLATE IN EXCEL
JW69,
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 BUT, if you did save it as a temple, as you said, that want work, have a look here for ways to do it http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/udfs/sequentialnums.html -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!
