Keep date current Code in Word job
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 |

Keep date current Code in Word job
It would be better to save the document as a template and create new
documents from it. However, if you use a Createdate field in place of the Date field then use SaveAs to give the document a new name, the stored copy will display the date it was first saved with the new name (you may need to update the field in order for it to do so). Documents created from a template with a createdate field will always show the date they were created. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Compare document don't show changes wrote: I created a timesheet job in Word.

Keep date current Code in Word job
I'll try that. I tried doing a template, but I have no training in Word, our
office uses Word Perfect. I could never get the templates to work right. They would freeze up and it would not be on each computer. I would have had to go to each computer and make one.
