I have a workbook with 2 sheets.

Day Log
Night Log

Each sheet will have several locked cells to keep users from making changes.
The date cell will be locked. I need for the workbook to enter the current
date on both sheets when the workbook is initially opened. The user will
then make their entries and the file will be saved with a new name thru
documentum. Would then need this file to maintain that date and not change
to the current date again if the workbook ever needs to be re-opened.

I had submitted a similar earlier post a couple of weeks ago and I believe
Jacob had assisted me with it, but now I can't find that post. It worked
great for 1 sheet but I couldn't get it to work on multiple sheets.

I appreciate any help you can give me. I tried looking thru some of the
various help links thru out the posts but didn't quite find what I was
looking for.

You did not post the code but you could put into the ThisWorkbook module
using a worksheet_open event to unlockput DATE into a desired celllock.
