I am creating a log sheet. I need the date and time to automatically enter
in
cell b2 when text is entered in a2. However, once that time is entered, I
do
not want it to update next time I open the document. Currently, I am using
the NOW function, but it updates everytime I open the document. If I go to
tools, options, calculatons, I can change when Excel updates. However, I
need
it to update everytime I open the file, because there are other formulas
in
the document that must be updated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
