I have designed a Service Work Order form in Excel. What can I do to have it
generate a new number each time the template is opened? Is there a formula,
function, or macro I could use that would achieve this result? A header with
page numbering to automatically advance the number doesn't work because each
work order must have its own number. If Microsoft Office 2003 does not have
this capability, can you direct me to where I might find software or a
plug-in that will accomplish this task for me?

Hi, Bug. You need a macro. See:
