Think outside the square. ! It is not necessary that invoice numbers be sequential - only that they be unique I have an application where an invoice being prepared for a specific party on a regular basis (monthly) is given a number composed of two parts Since the invoice requires a date I fill that in on the invoice. The invoiced party has a number identifier which is not but could be on the invoice. The invoice number is the date using "format, number, zero decimals" concatenated with the identifier. an example If D6 contains 30 April 2005 in number format = 38472 and E6 contains a renter identifier say 451 (although it could be alpha but formula below would need an adjustment) then put the following formula in F6 "=concatenate(text(0,D6),text(0,E6))" without quotes you will have F6 showing 38472451 ( you could reverse the two so that the id is first (45138472) which can be used as the invoice number. This method has several advantages 1 You do not have to remember what numbers have been used 2. An invoice can be fully identified from its number - you know date and party 3. No two invoices will ever have the same number unless you issue two on the same day to the same party. Hope this is useful to you Cheers Don "VBB06" wrote in message ...
