Default Logical test

I am creating a spreadsheet application on Excel 2000 to record the time (24
hour clock) when checks are made each day of the week by a persons
identification. To accomplish this, a logical test is used in the column
(say Column D) for recording the time the person made the check (say Column
E). When the validity of the persons identity is verified, the time is
recorded.

=IF(AND(E14200,E14<226),NOW(), ) The problem is, when the Value_if_true
when using NOW(), records a volatile time, i.e., the time is not retained
for that entry, when the test is performed on another day. All times in the
column change to the current NOW(). Once entered, it is intended the time
entered in a Row will not change when subsequent persons identity is
verified.

Can you help?
