Is there any way to have Excel automatically put a name and date/time under the main section of a sheet. For example, the sheet creates a log starting at row 100. The log shows the user ID and the date/time when they saved it.
100 User Date/Time
101 NG21 11-30-12 4:30p
102 SK22 11-30-12 5:35P
103 JK47 12-02-12 11:20a
so every time someone saves the file it adds a user name and date/time.
kind thanks,

Make sure there is a tab called "log" in the workbook. Put the following Event macro in the workbook code area:
Because it is workbook code, it is very easy to install and use:
Please Login or Register to view this content.
1. right-click the tiny Excel icon just to the left of File on the Menu Bar
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window
If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
To remove the macro:
1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
To learn more about macros in general, see:

To learn more about Event Macros (workbook code), see:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm
Macros must be enabled for this to work!
The workbook must be saved as .xlsm if you are using Excel 2007 or above.
