I have made a spreadsheet to do service orders for my business. I have the
invoice number in one cell and will be typing the customers name in a
different cell. I want the invoice number to change everytime I type in a
name for the new service order. Can this be done.
Thanks

Hi

Do you type all the words that are shown as is. Does all tis get typed in
the formula box?

You may want to read David McRitchie's intro to macros at:

(no, it doesn't go into the formula bar.)
