Default Problem recording entry time

xecel 2007 on WindowsXP
I need to time stamp entries in a spreadsheet. I thought the NOW() function
would do teh trick, but alas, I was mistaken. In column "B" I used the
formula
=if(A#0, NOW(), "")
which worked great, until I moved to the next line and made an entry into
column A, that is when the both entries in column B were updated to the
current time.

Is there a way to record the time a cell changes from empty to non empty
status, without updating every other cell in the column? We are simply
attempting to automate a call log-- shouldn't be this difficult.

Anyone have a solution for my little mind twister today

Thanks in advance for the fantatsic help this forum provides
