Hi P...I am sure this would require a macro. The formula =TODAY() will give you the current date, so anytime the spreadsheet it opened and saved, this would update. However, if the spreadsheet is opened but no changes made, the date would still be changed while the spreadsheet is open, so I'm sure this isn't what you want. I'm sure there is a macro that could be made that would determine whether the spreadsheet has been changed and then update the date, so we will have to wait to hear from someone who knows how to do this with a macro. Or, possible Dian or Greg might know how to do this with a field code?

Hello, I created a worksheet in excel 97. I am wondering if there is a way to have the date automatically update to the current date once data has been changed in the worksheet.
