Dim vec As Variant

vec = Split(ActiveCell.Value, ",")
Me.Textbox1.Text = vec(UBound(vec)) + 1

I thought all of the numbers were in one cell.
You probably need


Me.TextBox1.Text = Application.Max(Worksheet("Sheet2").Columns(2)) + 1

the numbers are all in there own rows, so 12001 in row 3, 12002 in row 4 ect ect, i need it to find the last row with data and add 1 to that number.
thank you

well they go in order as it a job number and as a job comes in thats the next number. so starts the year at 12001, then 12002 ect ect which is why i want the text box to display the last rows number +1 as the userform is creating a new job so will the job next number

Then MAX() + 1 should do it fine.

That means you don't have a Sheet4.
