Your post just made me realized that this was a rookie-mistake!

When you change the value of the adjacent cell using offset, this doesn't
change which cell is activated, so the 'IF' condition is still true, which
starts a recurring loop.

Changed the code to this crappy version:

If ActiveCell.Column = 6 And ActiveCell.Row 5 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
ActiveCell.Value = Date
End If

Thanks All for your help!

Did you put an entry in Column 6 with Row 5 when you tested it? I ask
because that code crashes for me also and I think the reason is the
unchained set of Worksheet_Change event calls that the first entry
initiates.

Hello All,

I use this code to check if a value changes in a specific column and
update
the adjacent cell (one to the right) with today's date.
However, it makes Excel 2007 crash.

Any advice?


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If ((ActiveCell.Column = 6) And (ActiveCell.Row 5)) Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Str(Date)
End If
End Sub

Thanks!
Mathieu
