You could do it with worksheet event code


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo ws_exit
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now

ws_exit:

Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Put this in the worksheet code module.

Copy this into a VB module


Sub Autpen()
Application.OnEntry = "GetDate"

End Sub

Sub GetDate()
Sheets("sheet1").Select
If ActiveCell.Column = 1 And _
ActiveCell.Row > 3 _
And Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) = Now()
End If
End Sub

It places the date into column B provided that the row is
greater than 3. Change the sheet, row and column to suit.

You might like to change the format.

Right click the sheet tab and select View Code. Copy and paste th
following macro. You may need to change the column number (etc).

'-------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If ActiveCell.Column = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Format(Now, "dd/mm/yy")
End If
End Sub
