    Re: Conditional Formattng

    Hi this works fine but what I am noticing is that every day I open the form up to add records the date that the call was originaly raised on 04/08/14 has changed to the current date.

    What I need it to do is when I press yes it puts the current date in and stores it so when I open it up after a couple of days or weeks I need it to still show the date that it was originaly dispatched not the date that I am opening it up on.

    How about changing it to:

    Make sure you check the iteration...

    Change the number of times Excel iterates a formula
    1. Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the Formulas category.
    2. In the Calculation options section, select the Enable iterative calculation check box.
    3. To set the maximum number of times Excel will recalculate, type the number of iterations in the Maximum Iterations box. The higher the number of iterations, the more time Excel will need to recalculate a worksheet.
    4. To set the maximum amount of change you will accept between recalculation results, type the amount in the Maximum Change box. The smaller the number, the more accurate the result and the more time Excel needs to recalculate a worksheet.
