Thanks Gord,
I've followed your instructions and have copied the code into Module 4. I then went to ToolsCustomizeInsertComment but I can't figure out how to assign the macro to the Comment.
I'm using Excel 2003. I may have missed something so if you will give me a step-by-step I would greatly appreciate it.
Here's what I did:
I recorded a new Macro (2) and copied your code into that macro.
I then located Macro2 in Module4 in VBA.
I followed the path above to get to the Comment command but after trying clicking and dragging I can't get any results.
Did I miss something along the way?
Thanks again for your time, you've already been very helpful.

You can assign the macro to InsertComment if you wish.
Steps for Excel 2003 and earlier.
Stick the macro in a general module in your workbook.
Then in Excel ToolsCustomize.
InsertComment..............assign the macro to Comment command.
I have not worked with 2007 enough to give help on assigning a macro to an
existing command.
Ron de Bruin is the master of that.

Thank you, Gord. After following Debra's instructions I realize I'm
wanting some further edits. Is there a way to have this without having
to run a macro? Insert into the "ThisWorkbook" and have the time format
not military?
Any ideas...

Here is revised version which pre-supposes no existing Comment in cell
and
adds the "NOTE:" all in bold font.
Sub CommentDateTimeAdd()
Dim strDate As String
Dim cmt As Comment
strDate = "dd-mmm-yy hh:mm:ss"
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
Set cmt = ActiveCell.AddComment
cmt.Text Text:=Format(Now, strDate) & Chr(10) _
& "NOTE:"
End Sub

Is there a way to have a comment, when "Insert Comment" is selected,
to
look like this?
12-19-09 (current date), 12:02 p.m. (current time)
NOTE:
In other words, have comments display current date & time when
selected?
Thanks,
