Sorry for this question... I am a hardware and network guy, not an apps guy.
I need to build a spreadsheet, where the far left column is the date. I can fugure out all of the rest of the formulae I need, but what I cannot grasp is this: When the user reaches the last cell in the line, I would like them to just be able to hit enter, the cursor moves to the second cell of the next line, and the first cell auto fills the present date and time, as well as a second column with a "Receipt Number" that will increment one number at a time. Any suggestions? or is this going to be something I'll have to do in Access? (I hate Access).
Access also will probably not do, because they will occasionally need to print out the complete list of updates as they were entered, for audit purposes. This is why I chose Excel. I am willing to move the columns around in the spreadsheet, if it makes thing easier to do.
