Yes, with a simple macro. Rightclick the sheet tab, choose "view code",
paste this in the

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address < "$C$1" Then Range("C1").Value = Now
End Sub

Thanks Chip for your response. My problems is i have my student file set
up
to where it automatically enters a test score date once the test score is
entered. however i have discovered the dates change every time i reopen
the
worksheet the following day the formula is:
=IF(P25="","",NOW())
is there a way to have the date automatically enter and not change?

You can enter the date with CTRL+<semi-colon . It will not
update.
