Just wanted to share this little function for upping rev letter.
I created it as part of my attempt to automate much of our ECRN process and thought it might be useful to others.
I find it pretty handy, such as with a RevisionTableAnnotation object you can use it like:
REVTABLE.AddRevision (NextLetter(REVISION))
EDIT: I updated code to fix a problem with transitioning from AAY to ABA.
EDIT 2: I posted for peer review on CodeReview and received a much simpler method of doing this, so I've edited the code to this simplified version.

Option Explicit '***NOTE: _ This module requires the following references: _ <NONE> Public Function NextRevLetter(currentRev As String) As String ' Alphabet, skipping I O Q S X Z Const alphabet As String = "ABCDEFGHJKLMNPRTUVWY" Dim i As Long Dim digit As String NextRevLetter = currentRev For i = Len(NextRevLetter) To 1 Step -1 digit = Mid$(NextRevLetter, i, 1) ' Increment digit: "A"->"B", "B"->"C", ..., "H"->"J", ..., "Y"->"". ' Any other garbage maps to "A". digit = Mid$(alphabet, InStr(alphabet, digit) + 1, 1) If Len(digit) = 0 Then ' "Y"->"" case. Reset to "A", then carry. Mid$(NextRevLetter, i, 1) = "A" Else Mid$(NextRevLetter, i, 1) = digit Exit Function End If Next ' Carry. NextRevLetter = "A" & NextRevLetter End Function
