Finding Creation Date
If I change my windows clock and create a Word document, it will use the date
it thinks is today for the creation/updated, etc. date when I save the document. I then change my date on the clock to the correct date. Is there a way to tell the REAL creation date or that it was modified? Thanks Chris |

No. As far as your computer, and the programs that run on it, are concerned,
the current setting at any time IS the real date. "Chris" wrote in message ...

If you are changing the computer clock to insert dates, it is anyone's guess
what dates are recorded in the file, but if you change the DATE fields to CREATEDATE fields in the documents (and in your template for new documents) you will get the date that should equate to the date you originally saved. In future insert CREATEDATE fields or the date as text. The following macro will insert the date as text. You can change the format switch to any preferred setting. Sub InsertUSFormatDate() Selection.InsertDateTime _ DateTimeFormat:="MMMM d, yyyy", _ InsertAsField:=False End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris wrote: If I change my windows clock and create a Word document, it will use the date it thinks is today for the creation/updated, etc. date when I save the document.
