Hello,

I need to create a simple database that will keep track of the latest version of a document we are using. For some reason, I cannot decide the best way to do this. All I need to track is the Document number, document name, date, version number, and system number.

Ex: document number - ABC, Document name - : Document A, Date - 01/01/2013, Version - 0001, System Number - MR444

How can I create a simple database that will locate if there is a previous document under the same number, and if so, have an easy way for a user to add the next version number. For example, with the above information, do a search on document number ABC, see there is a version 001 already created, and add the information (to link to the above information): Date - 03/01/2013, Version - 0002, System Number MR555?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
