    Compile error: Ambiguous name detected

    Hi All,
    I searched the forums and i didnt see a topic like this so here it goes
    I am trying to program excel so that when someone enters a number the next cell will automatically enter the date and time. I figured it out for the first 2 columns but the subject error comes up for the next columns.
    I am attaching the file just in case i screwed up my explanation
    Update: i actually did see a thread with this topic.. but im still confused
    Thanks

    You need to have your Worksheet_change macro sitting in the VBA tab for the sheet for which it is intended to operate and not in a normal module as well.

    In this case, it looks like the code needs to be in the Sheet1 tab and be removed from Module2.
