There is no absolute way to stop the NOW() function from updating, so you'll
have to convert that to a value before you save. If you edit the formula,
highlight JUST the Now() portion, and press F9, followed by the Enter key,
you should be OK

Im using the if and then formula, which the =now() formula is included
within. Once I save, I want the date and time to remain the same and not
change to the date I reopen the file.

Please advise. Thanks!
