Time stamp when data entered into a cell

[Mike]

Is it possible to automatically create a time stamp for
when data is entered into a different cell. In Column A I
am collecting data via a barcode reader. For each data
record in Column A I would like to automatically record a
time stamp into Column B of when the data in Column A was
entered. Is this possible?

Mike, try this in the worksheet code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
'will put date in column B when something is put in A
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now()
End If
End Sub
