The code that I posted will only run when you open the workbook.
As an alternative, remove the Workbook_Open code.
Then select Insert > Module in the Visual Basic Editor.
Copy the following code into the module:
Sub PrintInvoices() Dim i As Long Dim n As Long n = Val(InputBox("How many copies do you want to print?")) For i = 1 To n With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D1") .Value = .Value + 1 End With Worksheets("Sheet1").PrintOut End With End Sub
Running this macro will prompt you for the number of invoices to be printed. The invoice number will be incremented each time.
If you wish, you can assign the macro to a button on the sheet, or to a Quick Access Toolbar, or to a keyboard shortcut.

Sorry about that, it was air code.
Sub PrintInvoices()
Dim i As Long
Dim n As Long
n = Val(InputBox("How many copies do you want to print?"))
For i = 1 To n
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D1")
.Value = .Value + 1
End With
Worksheets("Sheet1").PrintOut
Next i
End Sub

HansVogelaar If I may ask, I have used your code and the results are good, but I would like to ask if I can change the number format starting from 0001 and incrementing by 1 each time I print.

You can apply the custom number format 0000 to the cell with the invoice number.
Enter 1 in this cell.
