I made a form in excel in which the cell O2 is a invoice number. This number increase by 1 everytime the document is open so each new invoice have a unique number.

To achieve this I put this VBA code directly in ThisDocument :

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("O2") = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("O2") + 1
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

What this do is that everytime the master document (the empty form) is open it add +1 to the invoice number and immediately save the document so the next time this empty form is opened it will start from the new number and add + and so on. It works great.

At the end of the form there is a "Save" button which automatically save the completed forms in the same folder as the master empty document but using the new invoice number in O2 as a file name. Then automatically close the document so, the user will have to reopen a new empty form to make a new invoice. My code for this button is :

Sub SaveAsO2()
InvoiceNo = Range("O2").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ActiveWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "FL" & InvoiceNo & ".xlsm"
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

Everything works really great except for one thing. This newly saved invoice will have is invoice number in O2 increase by 1 too if we open it in the futur since it keep all the macro active.

So what I want is adding a line to my Save button which delete the code in ThisWorkbook before saving it.

Is it something possible? I'm open to any other way I can achieve what I want if you have a suggestion.

Thanks
Alex
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
replace this
VBA Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ActiveWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "FL" & InvoiceNo & ".xlsm"
With this
VBA Code:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ActiveWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "FL" & InvoiceNo & ".xlsx" FileFormat:=51
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
And see if that fixes you issue.
