Filename and date automatic update.


Is it possible to create a setting in an excel file (a scoring submission form) that will force the person opening and completing it to fill out one or more given cells, or better still the file name, in order to indicate who had amended the form and when?

(Like many web-based forms)

RE: Filename and date automatic update.

You could se the file to Read-only, which would mean the person saving the file would need to specify a different file name. You could specifiy the format:

ie:

ScoreSubmissionForm-YYYY_MM_DD-YourName.xls

To make the file read-only, simply right click on the file in windows explorer, choose properties, and then tick the ReadOnly box.

Excel tip:

Add a € to your cells

If you need to add a € symbol to your Excel sheet - hold down the key Alt Gr and 4.

Alt Gr is located on the right side of the space bar.
