Well, you're right about that -- I hadn't considered that -- good point.

Wouldn't recommend doing it automagically. Think about it this way, if they
just opened the invoice to look at it, it would increment the number.

At first glance, and after being at the dentist and then going and having
blood work done, I would create a template, and in the AutoNew increment the
number that way, but then the number would have to be written out to a text
file, to keep track ofthe last number. I don't think that Excel can
manipulate the template that you are creating a new spreadsheet from while
you are creating the spreadsheet. But that's just a gut feeling and not
based in fact.

But if they did want to increment it in the auto open, here's how you would
do it (air code, may need to be checked for syntax validity)

Activesheet.cells(1,1) = Activesheet.cells(1,1) + 1
