Default A Date Field that Doesn't Update

Hi. I've got a letter template that I made with a Date field that inserts the
current date. It works fine, but when I'm done with the letter and want to
store it away, I want it to retain the date that originally had on the letter
when I wrote and sent it. Instead, the date updates so that when I look for
the record 3 months later, it will have the current date on which I re-open
it. I can try to remember to Ctrl, Shift, F9 while I'm in the field, to turn
it from a field to plain text, but I will forget many times. Is there a way
to have the date be set and stay set at the day I finish the document?
