Default How do I make DATE non-volatile?

I want to insert today's date into a worksheet record, but having inserted
it, I want it to remain at that date - the date of the creation of that
record.

Regardless of whether I use TODAY or "CTRL+;" I seem to end up with a
volatile date. How can I freeze the date? Make it non -volatile?

Many thanks.

Mike

"CTRL+;" should be non-volatile

Thanks for the speedy reply. I thought that I had tried that and the date
changed on me, but I am probably wrong :-) I'll try it. Thanks again.
