Last Saved Date and Time

[Kim]

I created a function in Excel to display the "Last Saved Date and Time" in a
cell. The code is as follows:

<
Function LastSaved( )
LastSaved = ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties.Item(12)
End Function
After saving the modified file, the cell displays the "Last Saved Date and
Time". I tried to modify the file another time and saved it. The cell however
does not change to the new date and time. But this was reflected under the
File -> Properties -> Statistics.

How can I update the cell to continuous display the right date and time
whenever the "Save" button is clicked ?

This is because saving a file does not trigger a worksheet calculation, and
it doesn't update when there is some calculation triggered by other changes,
so your function doesn't update. You can force a recalc with Ctrl-Calc-F9,
or you can add Application.Volatile to the function so that it gets
recalculated on an F9 or when some other change occurs that does trigger a
recalc.

Could you not also put calculate in the beforesave event? If you ordered it
correctly you could actually get it to calculate after it had saved the
file?

Good thought Andi, that should work.

Kim,

This is the code that Andi refers to

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
Application.Calculate
End Sub


'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

Bob,

Would that not calculate it before it saves? Therefore it would show the
time of the previous save.

Would this work:-

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
cancel = true

Application.Calculate
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

Andi,

It's good someone is on the ball.

This should do it

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
Application.OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1), "ReCalc"
End Sub

and add this proc to a standard module

Sub Recalc()
Application.CalculateFull
End Sub

Also Andi, this seems to work no better. It doesn't even seem to save it.
Disabling events helps but still leaves it after the event.

But this works, better than the Ontime way

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Cancel = True
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.CalculateFull
wb_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I've tried the last suggestion by Bob.
The date and time doesn't change when I saved the worksheet.

 

[Bob Phillips]

Did you put the code in ThisWorkbook code module as stated in original
posting.
