My Sub is putting the date stamp as intended, but then its as if it bails on everything after that point. It's supposed to format the two columns and then delete certain dates based which rows are headers.
Any thoughts why this is happening? Every time I run it, the formatting is never right, and the dates are in the cells where they are supposed to get removed. When I step through the code, it works as intended!!!



Code:
Sub DateStamping()
 'This is the Macro that the Time Stamp Button on the Publish Doc List Page operates
Application.ScreenUpdating = False


Dim NewDocs As String
Dim DocStmp As String
Dim NewDate As String
    'On Error GoTo Skiptohere2
        
        Sheets("Doc List").Activate
        
        With Sheets("Doc List")
         Dim LstRow As Integer
         LstRow = Range("F" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
            Debug.Print LstRow
            
            NewDocs = .Range("F2:F499").SpecialCells(xlConstants).Address
            Debug.Print NewDocs
            
             DocStmp = .Range(NewDocs).Offset(, 21).Address
            
            Debug.Print DocStmp
               
            On Error GoTo Skiptohere2
                        
            NewDate = .Range(DocStmp).SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Address
            
             Debug.Print NewDate
                
            .Range(DocStmp).Value = "x"
            
               
                'using address from cprange we move selection left by 25 columns and timestamp
                
            .Range(NewDate).Offset(, -23).Value = Date
            
                Sheets("Doc List").Columns("D:E").NumberFormat = "m/d"

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
On a new sheet, this works for me without stepping through:
Code:
Sub Dates()

    Dim x       As Long
    Dim LR      As Long
    Dim arr     As Variant
    Dim r       As Range
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
         
     With sheets("Doc List")
        x = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row - 1
        With .Cells(2, 27).Resize(x).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
            .Offset(, -23).Value = Date
            .Value = "x"
        End With
        
        With .Cells(1, 4).Resize(, 2).EntireColumn
            .NumberFormat = "m/d"
            .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
        End With
        
        arr = arr("Income|Asset|REO|Credit|Other", "|")
        LR = .Range("AK" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        
        On Error Resume Next
        For x = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
            Set r = .Range("AK1").Resize(LR).Find(what:=CStr(arr(x)), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
            If Not r Is Nothing Then
                r.Offset(, -33).ClearContents
                Set r = Nothing
            End If
        Next x
        On Error GoTo 0
    End With
                
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
            
End Sub

I ran your code and I got the same result as my code. For some reason the code works up to the point of putting the date stamp in the cell, but then it does not change the formatting, and in my case it does not delete the contents of the specified cells (I don't think your code handled the deleting part, but you did have the formatting part in there so the fact that the formatting didn't work tells me that the code works up to the point where the time stamp happens, and then it stops working).

I've never been this stuck before. It works beautifully during step through. I had it working fine Sunday night. Now.... Kaput.
