If I have some text information in a cell and when that text changes, I want
to a date to get updated to today's date, how would I do that?

Example:
A1 contains text that reads "123456890TEST"
A2 is formatted as a date and if I changed the text above to "XYZ" A2 would
change to 10.24.05

Think of it like tracking in a way... If something changes in Cell1, update
Cell2 with today's date...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "A1:A100"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
.Offset(0, 1).Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
