Is there a way to pull a timestamp from an excel spreadsheet for whe
that spreadsheet was last saved?

If not? Is there a way to have excel update a timestamp cell PRIOR t
every time the spreadsheet gets saved?

Or even a VBA macro which runs prior to a save?

Basicaly I need a way to reliably pull the time stamp from when
spreadsheet was last saved.

Any thoughts

Try this line...

MsgBox ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Last save time")

Perfect. Thanks Jim!

Now one more question, is there a way for an excel formula to return
the same result?

You could make a function out of Jim Thomlinson's code and call the
function in a cell.
Function strSaveDate() As String
If Len(ThisWorkbook.Path) < 0 Then
strSaveDate = ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Last save
time")
Else
strSaveDate = "Not saved"
End If
End Function
A1 = "=strSaveDate()"

The path test is used to determine the file exists--I'm sure there's a
better way.
