Default Automatically locking a field?

Hi everyone. Is there a way that I can have a DATE field in my document such
that it automatically locks when the document is opened, instead of having
to lock it manually?

What I'm thinking is this: I have a memo template that I open and then save
as a new document when I write the memo. What I'd like to have happen is
that I have a DATE field in the memo template which locks when I open the
template, so that the date won't change anymore, then I save it as a new
document, etc. Then when I open the template again later for a new memo, the
field isn't really locked anymore because I never saved it the first time (I
saved it as a new document, I didn't actually change the memo template file
itself).

Is this possible?

Thanks!
