You need VBA

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Quote").Range("A1").Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
Worksheets("order forms").Range("A1").Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm
yyyy")
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

Hi y'alls, noob here.

I want certain Excel spread sheets (Quote and order forms) to insert the
current date in a certain cell at the file's opening. How can I do that,
if
possible, avoiding any form of VBA. I get itches just thinking of VB.

Thanx a bunch
