2 macro problems. Multiple save locations and Invoice numbering using quick bar or Pop up

**twalt87** · 05-22-2013, 03:33 PM

Got excel 2013 today at work, and my boss wants me to set it up the same way we had it on the old excel 2000. The comp fried so i cannot use it as a reference.
Basicly, there was a pop-up menu(quickmenu) with 6 buttons on it, one button was for invoice numbering.
When you click it it would add a number to the invoice.
The number was stored in a word document so if you needed to edit the number you just change it there. All the doc had in it was a number.
I have no idea how to go about making the macro for this, basicily it needs to link to the word file and change from there i guess.

2nd problem is we were using windows xp before, and the comps were networked together.
Now using windows 7, and homegroup, but when you delete a file from the homegroup it vanishes, doesnt go to either pcs recycle bin.
SO i made a macro that saves the file in 2 places, one in the skydrive and one in the home group.
My problem is we dont just save invoices, but estimates, and then we have paid and unpaid and what not.
So is it possible to have a macro that saves in 2 locations but asks you what folders to put both in?

I hope i am explaining this all right.
Thanks before hand

Can you upload a copy of the old Excel file that worked? (You said your computer fried, but certainly you had some backup copies elsewhere.)

heres the thing lol. My boss was backing up all the invoices and what not, but not the excel templates or macros. So im having to do all that by scratch.

If you need me to try to explain it in better words i will. Im horrible at explaining ****.
