[Anwsered] Auto populate current date

Auto populate current date

HI, i would like to make a worksheet im using easier to use by automatically inserting the current date when a specific item is chosen from a drop down box in a different cell.
 
For example, in cell A1 there are 3 choices
 
1) submitted
2) In process
3) Completed.

 
When "completed" is chosen in A1, A2 automatically presents todays date and remains as that date in the future to assist in understanding how long individual processes have taken.
 
I have tried a few formula but nothing seems to work and im a novice in VB....
 
Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance for your assistance.
