I know I probably did post my reply correctly to get a possible solution to
my problem. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.


Sorry, but I failed to mention the process correctly. If end user enters
data in any cell in column A beginning at cell a2, then I would like the
corresponding cell(same row) in column B to have a date/time stamp that would
not change when the date/time changes or when the file is saved and reopened.
Example: if user enters data in cell A2, then B2 would automatically display
date/time stamp. If user enters data in cell A3, then B3 would have a
date/time stamp...and so on..and so on. TIA.

-----------------------------------------------

Enter this code in the module of the concerned sheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Range("B1") = Now()
End If
End Sub

Will change the date only when you change or enter value in A1

I'm using Excel 2003.

Is this possible?

If end user enters data in A1, can I add a date/time function that will
automatically be entered in cell B1, but not update when the date/time
changes or when the file is closed/opened? Using Today() or Now(), the
date/time in B1 updates when file is closed and then opened.

TIA

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
.Offset(0, 1).Value = Time
.Offset(0, 1).NumberFormat = "hh:mm:ss"
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Bob,

I tried to adapt the number format so that date and time display because I
need to have both. I have replaced your " "hh:mm:ss" with ""mm/dd/yy h:mm
AM/PM;@".
However, no matter what format I try to use the date displays as 01/0/1900.
Do you have any suggestions to the the date display as the current date?

First, note that the macro as written will give undesired results if a
multiple selection includes more than one column, including column A.
For instance, if A1:J10 is selected with C5 active, and C5 is changed by
the user, all the cells in B1:K10 will be overwritten with the date
stamp. One way to handle that would be to abort if there's a multiple
selection.

Second, Time only returns the time. For dates as well, use Now instead.

I might amend the macro like this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rSelect As Range
With Target
If .Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(.Cells, Me.Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
With .Offset(0, 1)
.Value = Now
.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yy hh:mm AM/PM"
End With
End If
End With
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Oops. Delete the Dim rSelect As Range line (it was from a different
worksheet_change procedure that I use).

Is there a way to make it so that its "if the value of the cell changes"
not "if its double clicked"??

Also, I would like to protect and hide those cells in the worksheet and
not allow the users to edit or even see those date/times. Problem is
when I protect the cells and they enter the data in cell a1 or
whatever, it doesnt change the date/time cause well.... they're not
allowed to change it so it doesn't do the change.

Okay, so here's my code then (that I stole from this site and revised to
fit my needs).


Code:
--------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target
If .Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(.Cells, Me.Range("E:E")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
With .Offset(0, 2)
.Value = Now
.NumberFormat = "mmm dd yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM"
End With
End If
End With
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
--------------------


How would I go about adding the windows log-on username to this? I
found this

http://blogs.officezealot.com/charle...2/10/3574.aspx

Which says you can use this


Code:
--------------------
Function UserNameWindows() As String
UserName = Environ("USERNAME")
End Function
--------------------


But where do I put the function in the code and how do I call it to
use?
