Hi all,

Everytime I am adding new data, I wanted the ID textbox to display a new unique ID for the new record automatically. I wanted it to continue even if I close the file. The code has been created but it's not works 🙁

Note : The textbox of idNum was disabled as user not allowed to key in manually.

I would like to ask for your help on this please. See attached below for your review. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mariya

You can refer attached for an example.

I am finding the maximum value in column A and then add 1 to it.

This will give the next sequence number.

Hope this helps.

Sunny

Hi Mariya

I will use a different method for this. I am assuming you want a physical prefix with leading zeroes and not formatting the cell.

Refer attached.
