Is there a way to put in the date when a user saves a document within the
spreadsheet? So that the next user can see when the spreadsheet was last
saved.
Thanks,

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Format(Date,"dd mmm yyyy")
End Sub

Put this code in the ThisWorkbook code module.

User Defined Function, not built-in.

Function DocProps(prop As String)
Application.Volatile
On Error GoTo err_value
DocProps = ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties _
(prop)
Exit Function
err_value:
DocProps = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End Function

In a cell enter...........

=DOCPROPS("author")
or
=DOCPROPS("last save time")

Where do I put the code in at? I right-click on the worksheet and go to "View
Code" but when I insert this code into the "ThisWorkbook"
When I insert "DOCPROPS("author") it returns a "#Name?" error
Should I insert the code in the worksheet instead of "ThisWorkbook"

Put it in a regular code module: In the Visual Basic Editor, with your
project selected, choose Insert/Module.

On the tab I select view code -Do I hilight all the code in the right hand
box? I tried this and then toolbar - insert - module , nothing happened I
kept seeing more and more modules appearing. I do not know vba so is it
possible to tell me in layman terms? People like me probably drive you mad. I
don't understand why Microsoft havent made this available without the vba
route........Yours hopefully

thanks for your patience - do you happen to know where there is an online
training course for advanced excel and vba?
