Re: [ExcelVBA] A simple uptime logging worksheet?

 

Hi!

I want to hit a button that writes the value of NOW

then writes the value of now() to another cell every minute

then saves the file

( the values in these 2 cells are not volatile so reopening the save fill
will preserve the start and last saved times )

clearer?
