Default How to stop Word inserting auto dates

Hi Pam,

Neither renaming nor copying a file (via Windows explorer) changes the CREATEDATE value - only using File|Save As from within Word
does that.

I did. And I've read many other similar suggestions. What happens to the
create date if you rename the file, or make a copy? Such information in
business records needs to be in static text, IMHO.

Huh??? Did you read Suzanne's reply? It isn't that the right type of field
isn't available, it's that the wrong type of field was used.
