Does any one knows how to set via code in publisher a counter.
explain>
I made an invoice 2 Parts (One Original and One Copy Carbonless)
that I need to put a counter from 1001 to 1499

and the problem is that with the 2 parts when printing must print twice
one white and one yellow with the same number.
for instance. invoice 1001 (white) copy(1001) yellow.

can this be possible.
thanks much

This can be accomplished with a Mail Merge. See the Consecutive Numbering
tutorial at http://www.publishermvps.com.

You could print two copies of the merge, changing the colour in between.
This would require you to collate the publication manually.

Otherwise you'd have to write some code. I can't code entire solutions for
you without invoicing you, but if you want to see an intro to Publisher VBA,
there are plenty of articles on MSDN:

If you have any specific issues, I can try to help you work around them.
