Autonumber in Forms while printing

[Alice]

I need to print forms from excel with auto-number
generated during printing. eg 001, 002, 003

How can I do it?

Thanks!

Is this a worksheet that's set up to look like a form?

If yes, you could use a little macro and run that whenever you needed copies:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myMin As Long
Dim myMax As Long
Dim iCtr As Long

myMin = 1
myMax = 3

For iCtr = myMin To myMax
With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Range("a1").Value = iCtr
.PrintOut preview:=True
End With
Next iCtr

End Sub

I put the value in A1 (which was already formatted nicely, "000").

Change the myMin and myMax to what you want and get rid of the preview:=true
when you're ready to kill some trees!
