I require the date to appear on a document, that shows the date the document was last saved AFTER BEING MODIFIED. The document contains many VB macro's that control printing and viewing (Therefore making changes to format etc, and manually calculating). This causes "=today()" to change when the document is viewed, but not modified.

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
A Quick solution might be

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

Range("A1").Value = Today()

End Sub

'This UDF may help

Function FileLastMod() As String
Dim FileDate As Double

On Error Resume Next
FileDate = FileDateTime(ThisWorkbook.FullName)
If Err.Number = 0 Then
FileLastMod = Format(FileDate, "dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss")
Else
FileLastMod = "Error"
End If
End Function


'Place in a Module and call from worksheet as follows

'=FileLastMod("D:Xl_usefulFiledateFunction.xls")
