I want the date in column F to update when I update information in column G.

This piece of VBA isn't working for me...any ideas on how to rewrite it?

Case Is = 7
If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1) = Date

Here is entire code on sheet.

Code:
Option Compare Text
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Intersect(Target, Range("A:A,C:C")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Sheets("Open").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With
    Select Case Target.Column
        Case Is = 1
            If Target = "X" And Target.Offset(, 10) = "" Then
                Target.Offset(0, 10) = Date
                Rows(Target.Row).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Closed").Cells(Sheets("Closed").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
            ElseIf Target = "" Then
                Rows(Target.Row).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Open").Cells(LastRow, 1)
            End If
        Case Is = 3
            If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1) = Date
        Case Is = 7
            If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1) = Date
    End Select
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
End Sub

Something funky is going on...the code works, then all of a sudden it doesn't. The copy items when closed worked, but now doesn't. Also, populating the date when something entered in column C no longer works. Here is current code:
Code:
Option Compare Text
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Intersect(Target, Range("A:A,C:C,G:G")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Sheets("Open").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With
    Select Case Target.Column
        Case Is = 1
            If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
            If Target = "X" And Target.Offset(, 10) = "" Then
                Target.Offset(0, 10) = Date
                Rows(Target.Row).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Closed").Cells(Sheets("Closed").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
            ElseIf Target = "" Then
                Rows(Target.Row).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Open").Cells(LastRow, 1)
            End If
        Case Is = 3
            If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1) = Date
        Case Is = 7
            If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1) = Date
    End Select
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
End Sub

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Are you copy/pasting into multiple cells, or will you only update cell by cell?

I update the lines one at a time...no copying down or copy/pasting multiples.

I delete multiple at a time.

I would normally put that line as the very first line of code, but as long as it's before the
Code:
With Application
line, all should be ok.

OK, I moved it up to the 3rd line.

If I wanted to remove the functionality of copying stuff to the Open worksheet, which lines could I safely remove?
Code:
  Option Compare TextPrivate Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
    If Intersect(Target, Range("A:A,C:C,G:G")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With
    Select Case Target.Column
        Case Is = 1
            If Target = "X" And Target.Offset(, 10) = "" Then
                Target.Offset(0, 10) = Date
                Rows(Target.Row).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Closed").Cells(Sheets("Closed").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)

[COLOR=#ff0000]                Rows(Target.Row).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Open").Cells(LastRow, 1)[/COLOR]
            End If
        Case Is = 3
            If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1) = Date
        Case Is = 7
            If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1) = Date
    End Select
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
End Sub

Removing the red lines should be ok
