Thank you for the reply. I have not pasted code before. I found the section
to paste but do not know how to activate it. Column A is the date field and
column F is where the text is being entered. Thank you in advance.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "A1:H10"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 2 Then
Target.Offset(0, -1).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.

Use this code then. The date will be input every time you enter datat in F.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 6 Then
Target.Offset(0, -5).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.
