Cheese, like this,

Sub Enter_Now()
ActiveCell = Now

'if you only want to show time
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "h:mm:ss"
End Sub

Thanks for your help.

How would I configure the macro to enter the =NOW() value into a cell
rather
than the =NOW() function?

Ctrl-; will enter the date.
Ctrl-: will enter the time.

If you want both, you have three options.

1. Use =Now(), but after it's entered, Copy it and Paste SpecialValues
2. Enter Ctrl-; in one cell, Ctrl-: in another, then add them together.
3. Record a macro which will insert the =Now() value in the selected
cell.

Is there a =NOW() type of function that records the "now" time of when
I
first enter it and doesn't update to the current date/time?

I'm trying to create a date/time log of certain events that displays
the
date and time in hh:mm:ss - I only need to be accurate within a few
seconds,
but the point is that =NOW() wouldn't work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
