Invoices assigning duplicate numbers

I am new here so if I am not doing this correctly I apologize. I just started using invoices in home and business a few months ago. Today when I went to create and invoice it is assigning the new invoice a duplicate invoice number. Not sure why this is happening and don't know how to correct it. I have never assigned an invoice number manually, always had the system do it. It looks like it is assigning a number of an open invoice it that makes a difference. Thank you for any help you can give.

    Thank you for your response. I replied to the email but it was returned undelivered. I went to help- about quicken and it says Version R30-14 Build 27.1.30.14.

    It just started on Friday. I don’t think I changed anything prior to this happening.

    I an not sure if I have taken payments against invoices correctly because some show as paid and some not but I have created invoices several times with no problem since I have taken a payment, so I don’t think that is the cause.

    What is odd is that when I noticed it first it was using invoice #125 which is an already existing invoice. That one has been paid but was not showing as paid. I found the payment and applied it. Obviously I hadn’t applied it correctly previously. After I did that now when I create an invoice it is using #121 which is also an existing invoice, but one that has not been paid yet.

    All this to say it may very well be something I am not doing or doing incorrectly.

    Sorry for my ignorance, I am trying to learn how to do all this invoicing and receiving payments.

    Thank you for your help.
