Re: Problem using VBA to create sequentially numbered documents in Word

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thanks for your help, but I'm new to VBA programming and lost looking at the
link you provided.
Let me ask if the following would be possible:
Have two Word documents. One would be a document that poeple would open and
edit, etc. The second document would have only one function... maintain an up-
to-date invoice number. A Macro would be created in the first document to
cross reference to the second document's invoice number.
Here's the problem I would run into... is it possible to increase the invoice
number (new invoice number = old invoice number +1) in the second document
without ever opening it. Could a macro in document 1 update document 2? Any
help with sample VBA code would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Steve
