[Compare document don't show changes]

I created a timesheet job in Word. It has the "keep date current" code.
Each day when an atty plays the macro to retrieve the timesheet, the date is
current which is what I want. They later close and save the timesheet.
Then, at a later date, say they need to pull up their saved timesheet to
check something they entered. I do not want the date to change now when they
open an existing job. What is the proper code to have for this in my
original document. This a Word job, not a template. Note: I have the form
protected so that it never gets overwritten.

Thank you very much! JO
