Is it possible to number a working sheet and have that number automatically
change each time the excel document is opened?

You can do it--but remember that the value doesn't get saved if the workbook is
closed without saving.
And lots of times, people open the wrong workbook and close it immediately.
But if you add this code to a General module of your workbook's project:
Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a1")
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then
.Value = .Value + 1
Else
.Value = 1 'start again??
End If
End With
ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub
It adds one to the cell and saves the file--well if macros are running when the
user opens the workbook.

I have followed your instructions but still nothing is happening. I am
relatively new to formulas and therefore do not understand fully what I need
to do. Any additional help would be much appreciated.

This is a macro that runs each time the workbook is opened. So if you've set it
up ok, then you'll have to close and reopen the workbook to see the results.
If you're having trouble setting it up, make sure you read David McRitchie's
notes.
