    Create comment and move cursor to start of comments

    Hi,
    Hoping someone could help, I could not find the answer using the search function.

    I have found code that adds a comment to a cell, and adds the text from that cell into the comment, with time and date. If a comment already exists for that cell it adds the text to the bottom of the comment.
    Which is the question, how do I make it so each time I run the macro it adds the cell text to the top of the comment.


    This is the code I have at the moment.

    Sub CommentDateTimeAdd()
    'adds Excel comments with date and time,
    '  positions cursor at end of comment text
    
    
      Dim strDate As String
        Dim cmt As Comment
       
      strDate = "dd-mmm-yy hh:mm"
    
        Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
      
        If cmt Is Nothing Then
          Set cmt = ActiveCell.AddComment
          cmt.Text Text:=Format(Now, strDate) & Chr(10) & ActiveCell.Value & Chr(10)
      
        Else
            cmt.Text Text:=cmt.Text & Chr(10) _
            & Format(Now, strDate) & Chr(10) & ActiveCell.Value & Chr(10)
          End If
        
        With cmt.Shape.TextFrame
          .Characters.Font.Bold = False
        End With
       End Sub
    Thanks in advance,

    No need to play about with the cursor, just change the order of concatenation.
            cmt.Text Text:=Format(Now, strDate) & Chr(10) & ActiveCell.Value & Chr(10) & cmt.Text & Chr(10)

    Thanks Norie,
    Worked like a charm, it made sense as soon as I saw it written.
