Session Times
 

Hello All,

Is it possible to add some code into a file that will show the session time
(in a cell)that a file is open or has been used.

thanks

try something like this

put this into your ThisWorkBook module
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Sheets(1)
.Range("A1") = "Wbook opened at:"
.Range("A2") = Format(Now, "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss")
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
With Sheets(1)
.Range("B1") = "Last closed at:"
.Range("B2") = Format(Now, "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss")
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Formula = "=now()"
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value = Now
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A3").Formula = "=a1-a2"
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A3").NumberFormat = "h:mm:ss;@"
End Sub

Whenever the worksheet is calculated, A3 will display the session time.

Just a thought, but wouldn't the workbook need to be saved to retain the
values?

That's true and on reflectiion I think my interpretation of "has been used"
is not what the op was wanting. Gary's solution is of course on the mark for
the current session which is most probably what was required though it does
not provide for history.

Another solution as it fits your criteria (in a cell) can be found here with

Geoff,

The code worked OK, however both times are current (the same). I was
thinking after I wrote in, it would be great to have a ticking clock in range
B1:B2 to let the user know how long the session is taking. The range A1:A2
(start of session) works great. I need to get the user thinking how long
he/she is spending on 1 job.

The history does not matter, and the session time need not be archived,
although it would help.

Thanks
