Thanks for Assist.<br />
<br />
Yes I do need to have the timestamp columns to not be editable once it has been applied.<br />
<br />
I do know about sheet/workbook protection but not column or cell protection.

I need to automatically add date with time on a column once adjacet cell is filled out but once it is set it must remain and not be editable.<br />
<br />
I found a really good VB script.... just that the cell can be errased and so does the time stamp.<br />
<br />
I've attached the file I'm &nbsp;Working ON... the Green Columns are the TIMESTAMPS while the yellow represents the fields of the names of assignation.<br />
<br />
This site has the VB code I copied:<br />

<br />
Problem is I don't know where to place column in question:<br />
Column N Timestamp is dependent of &nbsp;name entered on Column O.<br />
Column Q Timestamp is dependent of name entered on Column P.<br />
<br />
I believe I have most of it down<br />
<br />
coding just isn't my skillset....<br />
