Use this code then. The date will be input every time you enter datat in F.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 6 Then
Target.Offset(0, -5).Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Thank you for the reply. I have not pasted code before. I found the
section
to paste but do not know how to activate it. Column A is the date field
and
column F is where the text is being entered. Thank you in advance.
