Date and time stamping cells

[Excelgreenhand]

I try to freeze date and time on the Excel cell and I know NOW() would change by the date and hour.
CTRL+; --> to freeze the date
CTRL+SHIFT+; --> to freeze the time

Please tell me how and where I could put the ASCII code on the cells. (Recording macro does not reveal the code)
Thanks.

I would like to add more that the purpose of my formula is when a sales person enter his name on Column A then Column B will have the date and Column C the time caught.
Thanks.

Sub EGH()
  Range("A1").Value = Time
  Range("A2").Value = Date
  Range("A3").Value = Now
End Sub

You don't put the ascii code in the cell, you just click on the cell press the keystroke combo and press enter, but that wont happen the way you want without the sort of code that shg showed you

The original purpose is to enter a piece of data on Column A then Column B and Column C will have automatically filled with data of "freeze" date and time WITHOUT any input from the user.
Any other ideas to fulfill this requirement !?
Thanks again.

If you search the forum for "time stamp," you'll find a hundred examples.

As I pointed out, the only way to do something like this, would be with VBA, such as shg showed you, you cannot do it with formulas

Re: ASCII expert help

Just want to get some new ideas that I might miss from the net.
Over 6 thousands and ten thousands posts it could not be wrong to learn from you guys. I might be back if there is new discovery.
Alright, SALUTE!

Re: ASCII expert help

I'm back to have the following
Sendkeys "^;" --> for CTRL+";" no error on running BUT no date shown on active cell.
Any suggestions !?
Thanks.

Re: ASCII expert help

You do not need Sendkeys. You need code like the code shown by shg, you just need to put it in a worksheet_change event.
