If you meant to type 01/01/1900 then this is a date - 1 Jan 1900
Are you looking for a time? Try formatting the cell with Time
best wishes

Hi
I have tried the formula from
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/timestamp.html

but it returns a 01/01/1009 type thing and not the date
please explain I am a bit of an amature.

Regards

Pete

Rusian,

This will put the latest date in column A any time you add or change any
information in B:D:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B:D")) Is Nothing Then
Cells(Target.Row, 1) = Now
End If
End Sub

This will put the date in column A the first time you put information
into a
row in B:D, but won't change it if you add or change information later in
a
row that already has a date in column A.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B:D")) Is Nothing And
IsEmpty(Cells(Target.Row, 1)) Then
Cells(Target.Row, 1) = Now
End If

Paste it from here into the sheet module in the VBE.
