Default time sheet

Hi,

We are trying to use excel to track our hourly employee's time, we want
them
to access it and use it to enter their time. Does anyone know a
function
that would work so when they click on the box it will display the
correct
time?

Thanks in advance,

There exists function NOW(). When first entered in a cell

=NOW()

will display the current workstation system time. Every time there is a
recalculation it will be updated to show the current time. Same when
opening the workbook.

To simply enter the current date/time entry you could use key
combination Ctrl+; (semicolon) for time and Ctrl+: (colon, i.e. with
the key sequence Shift+Ctrl+; <semicolon).

To further protect each cell from only being entered once you need more
sophisticated VBA event macros.
