Please tell me if it's possible to link 2 cells when you enter initials in
one cell, it will date/time stamp the linked cell....Is this possible?

Sammie

You can use event code to achieve this.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value < "" Then
Range("F1").Value = Format(Now, "dd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss")
End If
End With
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

This is worksheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste the above into that sheet module.

When you enter something in A1, F1 will show date/time of entry.

For a range of cells use.........

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A20")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value < "" Then
.Offset(0, 5).Value = Format(Now, "dd mmm yyyy hh:mm:ss")
End If
End With
End If
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
