Default sequential number

Hi all,

I feel I should apologise in advance as I've seen this question answered
previously but can't find it now. I want to have a sheet of a workbook
display a new sequential number on opening. That's it really.

any help would be appreciated.

Mike

Mike, you culd put something like this in the workbook open event,

Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = _
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value + 1
