Hi y'alls, noob here.

I want certain Excel spread sheets (Quote and order forms) to insert the
current date in a certain cell at the file's opening. How can I do that, if
possible, avoiding any form of VBA. I get itches just thinking of VB.

Thanx a bunch

Pete

Then you should be using the itch-free
microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions newsgroup rather than
..programming <g

Try:

=TODAY()

A formula can do that, but it will change to whatever day it is when you
open the workbook. Otherwise you will most likely need to use VB.

=NOW()
Format the cell as needed.

You need VBA

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Quote").Range("A1").Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
Worksheets("order forms").Range("A1").Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm
yyyy")
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code
