Default Display Current Date & Time in a cell: Everytime I open the workbo

The following Event macro will put the current date/time in cell A1 of Sheet1:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Now
End Sub

Because it is workbook code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tiny Excel icon just to the left of File on the Menu Bar
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
