I am trying to increment a barcode with values A-Z...0-9 then back to A.
Values like:
AFWK9, AFWL9, AZFL9
Would increment to:
AFWLA, AFXMA, A0FMA
I am trying to use VBA to accomplish and was able to find some code which got me to the place below however my problem is I can't figure out how to handle incrementing the Third, Second and Fourth values and how to handle when the Fourth value is a 9. I've included if statements following true to below If SFourthLetter = 9 but it's not working. If someone can get me on the right track with the Fourth letter and/or the Third letter I can figure out the rest myself. I'm a little green at VBA so please bear with me. Any help you give would be much appreciated. Thank you- Heather
