Does anyone know if there is an add in that would automatically put a
datetime stamp comment at the end of any line that you edit?

I suppose you could always write one yourself, if all else failed, but for
me, such an add in would be very annoying.

For a start, what happens if you need to edit qute a few lines of code - do
you want each and every one to have such a comment attached?
Secondly, do you ever use line continuation (the underscore character) to
break long lines? Try putting a comment at the end of those.

1. My suggestion - check out MZTools for some good stuff.
2. Change you idea to that of inserting a single "Edited by __ on __" line
before each changed block.
3. Check out source code repositories (such as source safe) for keeping
track of code changes - that's what they are designed for.
