Orf,

Your reasoning is correct.

Post the 2 change event codes and I will try and merge them for you.

Thanks, Bob. I did as you directed and came up with an error:
Compile error: Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet-Change

I think this is happening because there is already a statement:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range
followed by End Sub (nothing between).

I tried deleting those two statements but then data entered in the sheet
was not correct.

I do not know what wording to change to get it to work.

Hi Orf,

VBA will do it

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:H10")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
.Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

This is worksheet event code, so right-click the sheet tab, select View
Code, and paste the code in.
