OK, I am stupid. I copied and pasted the info you gave me into VBA
(I think that is what I was suppose to do?) and then enter =DOCPROPS
in Cell A1. It gives me a #Name? value. Tell Mr. Idiot here what I
did wrong.

Thanks.

Hi
use the following UDF (only on workbook level):


Function DocProps(prop As String)
application.volatile
On Error GoTo err_value
DocProps = ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties _
(prop)
Exit Function
err_value:
DocProps = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End Function


and enter in a cell
=DOCPROPS("last save time")
(format cell as date)

Is there a formula or a way to input the last date a file was
modified into a cell? I have a spreadsheet that many users will be
accessing but will not be able to change. I want them to be able to
see the last time the information was updated. I could manually
type in the date, but I know I may forget sometime, so I want a
cell that show the last modified date automatically. Is this
possible or am I crazy?

thanks for your help.
