Take a look at the example attached. If you press Alt+F11 to view the code, you'll see that I attached the code to the Worksheet_SelectionChange event. This fires whenever someone selects a new cell on Sheet1 (in this case). Additionally, I added two lines to prohibit the timestamp from being changed once already in place, or if you already have data on that line. (In my example -- I'm assuming you have more data than just a date & time in subsequent columns).
Enjoy,
Chris
