Hi Joshua,
To enter the time as a constant use Ctrl+Shift+colon
To enter the date as a constant use Ctrl+Shift+semicolon

To enter the date or time automatically when you update another column
on the row, you can use an event macro, see

-- This one is a toughy!!!!!!!

Goal:
I have two colums and multiple rows. I would like to updated the first row
with
the time that the second row was modified.

Problem:
When ever the second row is modifed every-time stamp in the first colum is
updated.

I need to update the time in each row independently - and keep it from being
modified or updated.
