I have a workbook with 3 worksheets.
1) MENU
2) Arrears Report
3) NEW ACC
and a button on the menu sheet with the following macro below

The problem I have is it allows duplicates with extension (0),
and the next is (0)(1) and the next is (0)(1)(2) but I want the
extensions to be (0), and the next to be (1) and the next to be (2) etc

Please note I am a novice in vba

All help will be appreciated.

Thank you very much Rizvisa1
It works perfectly.

Can i have some further help, would it be possible to
split the above macro into sub macros and how i would i
do it. As have been advised that the macro above is too
long.

Answer is yes. You should break macro into smaller pieces. In most ideal world, you should not be too many things in one place. Other general idea is to see if you are in loop and what ever happens in a loop can be moved to a method. smaller methods are easy to maintain and easy to understand.

Here is one attempt on your existing macro. One thing, is that you should always have
Option Explicit
at the top. It forces you to declare variables and would lead to less issues
Other thing is that, you should not select sheets or cell to do some thing to it, unless you really have to. It slows down the performance. 
Option Explicit
