    Automatically put Date in Rows

    I'm making a spreadsheet to track details about products on a certain day. In Column A i have the date in the 11/4/2009 format and i would like each row to autmatically enter the date as one day after the previous cell ie. cell A1 has 11/3/2009, cell A2 has 11/4/2009, cell A3 has 11/5/2009 and so on. I would like this to be able to extend the length of the sheet as it expands. Thanks for the help

    if you just want it to appear as you enter data in a new row
    if your first date is in a1 then in a2
    =IF((B2)<>"",A1+1,"") and drag down
    as soon as something is put in row b a date will show
    change b2 to a cell you know you'll fill in
