Can a macro be provided which will put today's date to a cell on opening a WB? The user can put any other date to that cell but on reopening of the WB todays date should come to that cell? If I use the formula =today(), the problem is that it the user changes the date nad saves the date, then on reopening the file new dte comes in rather than today's date?

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Right click on the sheet tab, and go view code. then on the left under Microsoft Excel Objects there will be ThisWorkbook, double click on it it should bring up a white box/screen then paste this in:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Range("A1").Formula = "=today()"
End Sub

obviously substitute A1 for the cell you want
