The small program I posted is a macro. The program will run whenever cell A5
changes. The little program will put today's date in B5 (Not a formula).

All you need to do is to copy the program and paste it in the correct place.
If you are not familiar with macros, see:

Enter this small macro in worksheet code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("A5")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Range("B5").Value = Now()
Range("B5").NumberFormat = "dd mmmm yyyy"
End Sub

REMEMBER: Worksheet code

I need the date in "B5" to be Static according to the date that the
data was entered into "A5" (As long as the Data is greater than 1)

EG: "A5" = 19000 (Which i type in on 21 Aug 2006) so "B5" = 21 Aug 2006
"A6" = 20001 (Which i type in on 23 Aug 2006) so "B6' = 23 Aug 2006
but "A5" should stll be dated as 21 Aug 2006

This is the formula I entered into "B5", "B6" etc yesterday
=IF(A5 1,NOW(),"")
=IF(A6 1,NOW(),"")
But this updates the date to todays date and doesnt stay static for the day
that the data was into the relevant "A" cell.

Thanks for any help in advance
