automate a numeric number in order

[Associates]

Hi,

I was wondering if i can get some help here. I was trying to make a template
that is designed to produce a team meeting minute. I can do that with the
userform. Each of the team meeting minute form have a number associated with
it. For example, on the top of the form, there is a header with the following
heading: Marketing Team Meeting #1 on 27 November 2009. Then, the next
meeting would be Marketing Team Meeting #2 on 12 December 2009. I do not have
issue with getting the current date from the system and dump it on the
document. My concern is i do not know how to automate the team meeting
number. I was thinking of saving the number in a notepad so that next time
when a new minute is invoked, it knows what is the next number should come
up. But this would take sometime to process because it needs to open up the
notepad and look into the number in the background.

My question is whether or not there is any efficient way of doing this in
programming.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
