    Tracking changes in Excel using an Event Macro

    I use an excel workbook with multiple worksheets to track action items across
    several teams. I was graciously provided an event macro from someone in this
    discussion group to track changes to due dates. A copy of the current macro
    follows.

    This macro looks for a change in Column J (which is the due date) and if
    detected, it records the user name, date/time, and the entry into a tracking
    worksheet (named DUEDATE-CONT COMPLIANCE). It also brings over the data in
    another column (Column A – which is the action number).

    This is working well and I am finding it would be useful to record
    additional data in the tracking worksheet (such as REASON FOR DUE DATE CHANGE
    – Column H), when a due date change is made.

    So I have two questions.

    1. Can someone kindly advise me how to record additional columns of data
    into the tracking worksheet?

    2. Is it possible to record the name of the ‘tracked’ worksheet with this
    info, so I can have only one tracking worksheet for the entire workbook?
    Currently, I track each worksheet by individual tracking sheets.

    The macro is as follows.

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    'Column to be watched
    Const sWatch As String = "J"
    'Column of reference data that will show on Track sheet
    Const sRef As String = "A"

    Dim rWatch As Range
    Dim rCell As Range
    Dim sUser As String
    Dim lOffset As Long

    Set rWatch = Intersect(Target, Columns(sWatch))
    If rWatch Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    sUser = Environ("username")
    lOffset = Columns(sRef).Column - Columns(sWatch).Column
    With Worksheets("DUEDATE-CONT COMPLIANCE")
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect
    For Each rCell In rWatch
    With .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
    .Value = rCell.Offset(0, lOffset)
    .Offset(0, 1).Value = Now
    .Offset(0, 2).Value = sUser
    .Offset(0, 3).Value = rCell.Value
    ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
    Scenarios:=True _
    , AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True, _
    AllowInsertingRows:=True, AllowDeletingColumns:=True,
    AllowDeletingRows:= _
    True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
    End With
    Next rCell
    End With

    End Sub

    Here is a new version that tracks sheet name and contents of column H:
