I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE A WORKSHEET WHERE THE DATE IS AUTOMATICALLY PUT INTO A
CELL WHENEVER THE OPERATOR INPUTS INFORMATION INTO ANOTHER CELL... I.E. CELL

BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE OPERATOR INPUT THE DATEE - NOR DO I WANT IT
REFRESHED EVERY TIME I OPEN THE FILE... ANY HELP???? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Thank you for the reply. I have not pasted code before. I found the section
to paste but do not know how to activate it. Column A is the date field and
column F is where the text is being entered. Thank you in advance.

Use this code then. The date will be input every time you enter datat in F.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 6 Then
Target.Offset(0, -5).Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
