Creating a Macro for CreateDate Field in Word 2000
Hello,
I want to create a Macro that will automatically execute the CREATEDATE function upon opening a word.dot file. Is this possible and if so, how? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. -- tech1NJ |

CREATEDATE is a field, and if you insert that wherever you like in your template, a new document based on it will automatically show that date each time you create one.

Creating a Macro for CreateDate Field in Word 2000
Hi Robert,
In further looking at what I originally wanted to do, I was able to get it to work. However, you did help me get back on track by reminding me that the CREATEDATE is not a function but a field. By the way, the key to my solution was that I needed to create a template with all the data (including the CREATEDATE field), then save it as a template not as a document. This way when a new document is required, you will open the template which already contains all the date required including the creation date. Thanks for all the help. -- tech1NJ "Robert M.
