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: _
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
