Default Insert date when save file

I want to insert the save date in a cell whenever the file is saved. I got this code from google search:



Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Format(Now(), "mm-dd-yy")
End Sub

It works great on excel 2003, but not in excel 2007 (running under W7).

I googled to get the above, but found nada about something specific for 2007.

Any help much appreciated

Hi gg80,

That code should work exactly the same in Excel 2007.

In what way isn't the code working? Do you get an error or does it just appear not to do anything?

If it doesn't seem to be doing anything, make sure that:
(1) the code is in the ThisWorkbook class module of the workbook
(2) macros are enabled
(3) events are enabled (type Application.EnableEvents=True into the immediate window)

If it gives you a runtime error then please give us the details of the error. It could be the case that
(1) a sheet called Sheet1 doesn't exist
(2) Sheet1 is protected.

Hope that helps...

Head slap! I entered code in excel 2003, it worked, and I expected it to work in excel 2007. I didn't know about "enabling macros". Thanks very much-problem solved.
