Well, I say it's as simple as including the instructions about going into that text file or into the template (where ever we store that invoice number) and taking it back down one if they want. Some may not even care, and just want a unique invoice number to provide as a reference.

I'm trying to keep this simple. If they want something extravagant, hell...they can go buy MS Money or Quicken, right? So, you see, this has just been all blown out of proportion. I just want a simple invoice number. I've already got a file that does it (MyInvoicing, which I referred to earlier), and I'll ask Zack to remove all the other junk out of it.

No offense to anyone at all, it's just taking up far too much of everyone's time for what I wanted. But...there's always that learning they, hey?
