Frank,

Thanks - that's perfect. Now, though, I want my users to
be able to add this code to a workbook by hitting a custom
button on their toolbar. I can add code to their personal
workbook - but can that code "create" more code?

Hi
if you want to insert the last save date in your
header/footer insert
the following code in your workbook module
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim wkSht As Worksheet
For Each wkSht In Me.Worksheets
With wkSht.PageSetup
.CenterFooter = Format _
(ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties _
("Last save time"),"DD.MM.YYYY")
End With
Next wkSht
End Sub

All, I am perplexed with this one ...

I am trying to put a footer in my workbook that will
show
the last time the file was saved (as opposed to the
[date]
& [time] functions that show the time printed). I have
created the following code and put it in my Personal
workbook, BUT, it forces me to remember to run this each
time I save the file. Is there something like a
[datestamp] variable I can put in my footer that will
dynamically update? Any other thoughts?

Thanks!!


Sub TimeStampFooter()
On Error GoTo handler
With ActiveWorkbook
Filename = .Path & "\" & .Name
timestamp = FileDateTime(Filename)
numsheets = .Worksheets.Count
For x = 1 To numsheets
Sheets(x).PageSetup.RightFooter = "&8Last
Updated: " & timestamp
Sheets(x).PageSetup.LeftFooter = "&8" & Filename
Next x
End With
Exit Sub
: handler
MsgBox ("Error - please ensure file is saved before
contiuing")
Exit Sub
End Sub
