automatically add date/time stamp to field?
 

I know that you can use the =now() function to put a date/time stamp
into a field in Excel. The problem with this is anytime you open the
document, edit a field, etc. all the now() functions execute. I want
to be able to easily create a date/time stamp in a field, but I don't
want it to ever update unless I repeat this same operation in the
field. Maybe a macro that could be connected to a button on a toolbar?
Any ideas on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Press Ctrl + ; in a cell to insert the date or Ctrl : to insert the time. The
values will NOT update.

Hi,

Found an old "stamp" ....

Sub MacroStamp()
Dim Stamp As String
Dim Str As String
Str = Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss AMPM")
Stamp = Format(Date, "Long Date") & " at " & Str
Selection.AddComment
Selection.Comment.Text Text:=Stamp
Selection.Select
End Sub

If you simply want the date and time etc in the activecell

Sub StampNow()
ActiveCell.Value = Now()
ActiveCell.Copy
ActiveCell.PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
