    Track Cell History in Comment?

    Hey folks!

    I am new to the site, have been a lurker for some time now grabbing code left and right when I need it but I have run into an issue I do not know the code for.

    What I need to do is track each change within each cell from B4 to BC711 with a comment on the cell that shows what was previously in the cell before the change, as well as track the User, Date and Time of the Last Edit of the cell, (need all of this in the comment of each cell). (All for Excel 2007 in Windows XP)

    I currently have the code to track the User, Time, and Date of each edit of each cell with a comment, but it is for the entire spreadsheet.


    Here is the code I am currently using:

    So I was wondering if anyone knows the code for this?

    I see I see, well If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is this going to do? I am a noob when it comes to writing and reading code, I usually just search for codes IO need and drop em in.

    K i have some more details for you so its clearer:

    I finally got the code almost where I need it, right now it's within the parameters I need but the only thing left I need it to do is keep a log of each change of each cell in the comment.

    For example right now this is what the comment looks like:

    "Cell Last Edited: 7/29/2011 9:48:24 AM by alex8447
    Previous Text :- Verified & Correct"


    but when I edit it again, it only replaces the previous comment with the new edit. I need it to keep a log in the comment so when I make a 2nd edit it will keep the first edit information in the comment as well. The comment would look like this if I edited the cell twice:

    "Cell Last Edited: 7/29/2011 9:48:24 AM by alex8447
    Previous Text :- Verified & Correct

    Cell Last Edited: 7/29/2011 9:52:31 AM by alex8447
    Previous Text :- Incorrect"



    Here is the code i am currently using: would you know how to modify it to do log edits like i was saying??
