If Topic was in column D and Doc type was column F (per your example),
just fill this formula down in column E:

=IF(AND(NOT(ISBLANK(D2)),NOT(ISBLANK(F2))),"dm","" )

Assuming row 1 is your header row. For your date, just click a cell in
column G (or whatever column you want) and press Ctrl-; (semicolon).

No macros needed.

To save your document with a given filename, here's a macro:

Sub SaveAsFile()

Dim fileN As String
fileN = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
If fileN < False Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fileN, FileFormat:=xlNormal
End If

End Sub

Is it possible and how do you do this:

On an excel sheet I'm going to have (see below)

* * * *Doc. * * *Reference * * *Doc.No * * * Topic * * Orgntr Doc. * * *Type
Created Modified

* * * ABC * * * * 0001 * * * * * * * 123 * * * * * *cost * * * * * dm
ppt * * * * * *18/03/2009

All I want is when the topic and doc type column has been filled in. A Marco
fills in orgnt (dm) and created *column (date)and also creates the document
and saves it as 123 (for eg)

Hope you can help........... thanks
