Hi
I have a quotation template that I want to have the date automatically
entered into a cell when the New file is opened. This will be the date the
quotation is created. That is easy however what I require is when the file
created from the template is saved and opened at a later date the date does
not change from the origional date that was entered and can not be altered
by the user. It is in a locked cell. Any one have any ideas

a little macro which copies =today and pastes as a value on top of itself
based on a worksheet change or before save event?

Thanks Paul,
I have tried this earlier but how do you do this when the cell is
protected/locked
and if it is based on a save macro wont it update each time you save the
file thus changing the date.
