One solution would be the following:

If you assign a macro similar to the one listed below to the close
event of the worksheet, you can insert the current Date/Time into a
cell on the worksheet.  The workbook events are accessible through the
tools:customize:events tab.
What I'm looking for is just the saved date, which is not necessarily
the same as the close date.  That is, if I save the document, the date
shows that, and does not ever change, until I do another save later.
The =today() function will show last modify date, which is close enough,
but unfortunately also changes on re-opening the file, which is not what
I want.  Is there any way to read the file modify date into the cell?

There is a event called "'Modified' status was changed".  You can
assign the macro to that event.


I guess I've have to look into macros then.  I've never used them before
in an office package.

I am much more familiar with vba from work, but the first thing I thought of was 'events' and how to assign code to the events. I am still struggling with Star Basic and the quirky IDE of OO. I would be much happier if I could assign a third party IDE to handle the code and macros. I hit to many dead ends when trying to edit or move macros and libraries. Some of it may be my limited exposure to coding in other than vba.
