    Question Automatically Incrementing Invoice Number Upon Opening File Macro not working

    I'll start by saying I don't have much experience with VBA and macros...

    I have been trying to use a macro to automatically increment invoice numbers upon opening a file, which I found at a website (but apparently I'm not allowed to link it due to this forum's rules)

    The Code is as follows:

    Something is wrong though - when I open the file, the value in D2 does not automatically increment. When I run the routine via the Debugger, it increments, but not when I open the file. This may have something to do with the code being saved as a "module" rather than a Macro, but every time I try to save it as a Macro, I either get a compile error, or else it tells me, "This action will reset your project, proceed anyway?" (note, this happens because I am trying to delete "Sub Macro1()" at the beginning of the macro).

    How can I set up a proper macro that will increment the number in cell D2 every time I open the file?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.
