Le t's say you want cell B9 in Sheet1 to contain the date the last time the
workbook was saved. Put the following event macro in the workbook code area:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B9").Value = Date
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

I open. Now what I want to do is see when I last opened and updated. How
can I do this
