I need to have some code so when the users open the workbook, the current
date would be inserted into cell A1. Then, after the workbook has been used,
an auto save on close in case they forget to use the save menu option. Can
these two things be done?

Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets(1).Range("A1").Value = Date
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

Thanks Bob,

This works well. In the event a user wants to save the file as another name
to the desktop, can a "save as" prompt appear to save on close?
