Hi Salty,
Unfortunately a database won't work.
I'm doing this on a low budget (just my time) and I don't have much
experience in programming Access.

In addition, people who use the info are set in their ways.... meaning they
know excel and are comfortable with it. I will never get them and others to
go from excel to access because it would be way out of their comfort level.

But thanks for the feedback....

may be you need some database product because users can edit/delete the
cells you use to store the information.

Hi,
I know it's been hashed through a number of times with the answer that you
can't track multi-cell changes.

My question is if I can at least record who changed a cell and when... don't
need to know the old or new value... only that it was changed.

In my case, I have an excel workbook with about 15000 rows of data.
I have data in columns A through H.
If someone changes the value either in Columns C or D in row 1234, I want to
put their name in cell I-1234 with today's date in cell J-1234.

I can get it to work for single cell changes but want to know if it's
possible to do this tracking on multi-cell changes as well. Examples
being... copy and paste to many cells, drag down fills, etcl. The reason I
have hope someone can help is that I don't need to know the before and after
values.

Thanks for any help,
MikeZz
