Aight, I'm not exactly a programmer but I know how to do enough things in VB to be pretty dangerous to myself. I have a spreadsheet that is tracking some very expensive things, and it's constantly being updated by 3 or 4 different people. I've got the code in so that the last author and last save time are being displayed for me, but I'd like to have a macro that will run and update these 2 cells whenever I (or anyone else) saves the document.

Is this possible? If so, how must it be coded to get it to work?

If multiple people are accessing this and it's constantly being updated I'm wondering why you're using Excel and not Access or some online database program.

I was told to do it in excel.
