Date Creation in Cell

[Guest]

Hi
I am trying to write a formula that will enter the date in field A2 if there
is text in B2 but the date must be the date when B2 was typed into and not
todays date.any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Dayne

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then
Range("A2").Value = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Sorry to jump on your thread Dayne but I have an additional question in this
theme. Bob, you code is just what I am looking for, but is it possible to
make it repeat itself down the sheet? i.e. enter the date in A3 down to A500
if there is text in B3 to B500?

I am new to VBA and trying to learn from reading as much of this forum as
possible!

Many thanks in anticipation of a simple answer
