current date in header
I need to insert the TODAY function or other parameter after the &[Date] into
a custom header so that the current date always shows up in the header when you open a worksheet? When I use the &[Date], it places the current date, but when I open it up the next day, it's got the old date. I need the current date to display each day I open the file. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks for your help!

Several ways to do this. All involve VBA code. Are you OK with that? Private Sub Workbook_Open() ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Date End Sub Alternative......... Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Date End Sub If you want all sheets to have the current date replace with this code. Private Sub Workbook_Open() Set wkbktodo = ActiveWorkbook For Each ws In wkbktodo.Worksheets ws.PageSetup.RightFooter = Date Next End Sub To enter this code, right-click on the Excel icon left of "File" on menu and select "View Code". Paste one of the above in there.

Gord,
Thanks for the code. I had no problem inserting this into VBA code and the footer displayed 5/17/2005 with no problema. Now tomorrow, it should display 5/18/2005 and then I will be a happy camper.

Make that Control PanelDate and Time, not Regional Options.

Gord,
When I opened the spreadsheet today, the date displayed is 5/17/2005. I'm looking for some code to display the dynamic current date, so that it will change from day to day. Any ideas for that?

This line:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Date Adjusts the rightfooter of the activesheet. (If you enabled macros.) If you want a specific worksheet's footer to change, then you can be more specific. worksheets("sheet99").PageSetup.RightFooter = Date RachelN wrote: Gord, When I opened the spreadsheet today, the date displayed is 5/17/2005.

You can test right now if you want to change your system date in Regional
Options. Close Excel and change the date then open the workbook. But.....it will work so no need to test.

Did you place the code in the Thisworkbook module? Works for me. Test by temporarily changing your system date in Control PanelDate and Time. Then re-open the workbook.
