Markup has nothing to do with your problem. Why post as a reply to this
thread?
The keyboard shortcut for Insert Date, and the icon on the header/footer
toolbar insert an automatically updating date field, {DATE}, so if either of
those were used in creating the doc, you get date changes.
To fix old docs, select the field, toggle field codes on the right-click
menu (or hit alt-F9), and change the DATE field to CREATEDATE.
For more information, see he

For the future, you could make the {CREATEDATE} field into an AutoText entry
and assign it a shortcut.

There is also a {SAVEDATE} field which shows last saved date.

Hi there,
Our problem is that we are attempting to upload documents to a storage area
and retain the date information of the date the documents were
created/issued/mailed etc. However, when we open them, the date automatically
changes to the current date instead of retaining this information. Surely we
are not the only ones experiencing this and it is a compliance issue for many
industries to be unable to retain that information. PLEASE HELP!!
