    Question Generate sequential number after pressing button and create a tracking list.

    Hey all,

    I need a way to create sequential numbers after pushing a button for offers being made to clients and keep track of the offernumbers with client info included. So per example:

    Cell A1 would show the number which should be filled with a sequential number each time the button is pressed. On sheet 2, these numbers should be saved. So after pressing the button, in cell A1 on sheet 2 the number will appear.
    Than after pressing the button again on sheet 1 cell A1 should be refilled with the next number in line. While in sheet 2 this number should be filled in B2.

    So if this can be done i would like to go one step futher.

    Lets say in that on the first worksheet cell B1 says: Mr. Doodle C1 says: adres x D1 says: city x.
    When ever the buton is pressed and the next number in line will be generated in A1 i want the info of cell B1, C1, D1 also to be copied unto sheet to and than (if this is next empty column) in B2 be filled Mr. Doodle, C2 Adres x, D1 city x.

    Also it would be nice if the button would bring up an confirmation popup so that creating a new number is not done accidently, or even a password would do the trick i guess.

    Any suggestions.

    Ps. I included a workbook for some more clarity.

    Hi, Sam Kuiper,

    instead of typing each and every customer and address each and every time I would think about using a database for that and giving each customer/delivery address a unique number on the left side of the data block to be used with VLookup for the ease of maintenance.

    The macro could look like this:

    The new number is essentially the Max of numbers in Column A on Sheet2 plus ,0001 - it may be altered but will reflect on the next save.

    Also it would be nice if the button would bring up an confirmation popup so that creating a new number is not done accidently, or even a password would do the trick i guess.
    The new number isnīt entered into the list until the button is pressed - if somebody alters the list in the meantime the value in Range("A1") could be checked via the Max function prior to writing.

    Ciao,
    Holger
