Yes, I first pasted into the "worksheet code" and then had to back out of
that, re-read your instructions two or three times, and then I found
Thisworkbook and did it all over again. My skill in Excel is a lot more
primitive than yours, but, yeah, some of the changes they made in 07 seem to
be a little counterintuitive.

Thanks for your help on this.

Once you are in the VBIDE yes, but in starts by taking you to the worksheet

In 2003, the instructions that I give take you directly to ThisWorkbook. It
would be nice to be able to do the same in 2007 wouldn't it? They seem to
have removed so many nice little things in 2007. Shame.

Actually, it gives you the option to go to any sheet, or to Thisworkbook
in
the Excel 2007 I'm using.

But that takes you to the current worksheet code, not the Thisworkbook
code.

"view code" that's where I pasted the formula in.

You mean that you have added it to the QAT.

What is that item called in the Customize list?

Thanks Bob, actually, I "played around" by clicking the Office
button
in
the
upper left, then "Excel options," then "customize." There's a check
box
in
there which let's you put a short cut in the upper left (the little
box
where
"save" and "undo" and "redo" appear by default. So, I did that,
pasted
in
your formula with the appropriated day of the month. Then, I saved a
copy
of
the worksheet, changed the date on the toolbar and tried it; it
seems
to
be
working, but we'll see what happens on January 7th! Thanks again.

I am setting up a financial statement and need to have a fee of
a
set
amount
added on the seventh of each month. I want the date of the
seventh
to
add
3
to the value already present in one cell.





Thanks Bob, but I have the 2007 Office programs and didn't see
the
excel
icon. the formula is a little over my head, but I get the idea,
just
not
sure
how to appropriate it. I'll play with it!
