PrintDate Field
Hi;
PrintDate Field does not update when doc is printed, it stays with ( 0/0/0000 0:00:00 AM ). I checked all areas of the Word Options, for updating fields with no resolve. I did follow the Save Document,after printing the document to update yet same results of 0/0/0000 0:00:00 AM each time. What did I miss that would correct this? Frank |

PrintDate Field
Are you sure that you have not either locked the field or unlinked it
(Shift+F9 or Ctrl+Shift+F9)? Try inserting it again and make sure that under the PrintOptions dialog that the Update Fields box is checked. -- Hope this helps.

PrintDate Field
Sorry, but I cannot replicate the problem even if the Update Fields box is
unchecked under the PrintOptions dialog. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

PrintDate Field
Thanks Doug
I resolved to inserting the document into a new Document and PrintDate updates fine. Also InsertObjectText from File works... My question is: Is there anyway to check the documents source file to see whats turned on/off? Perhaps a glitch with the original file causes the error..
