Well Yes and No!

If it shows 'date of invoice' that was a day that differed from the
CreateDate, then it was probably entered manually and wouldn't update. If
the Op new how to enter a different date (from the CreateDate)
automatically, I guess they would know sufficient about Word dates to
understand CreateDate anyway. g

Technically speaking, we do not know if the CREATEDATE is the correct
thing
to do.

What if the document was created December 12, 2008...but the date in the
document was for - oh, I don't know - the date an invoice was sent,
November
2, 2008. Or, the date of something in the future "Pay up by February 1,
2009
or we will send thugs."

I can agree that it is likely that CREATEDATE is what the OP wants, but we
certainly do not know this for sure.

If CREATEDATE is not desired, unfortunately the OP is out of luck. If the
DATE field was set for automatic update, there is no record of its
original
value.
