Word VBA Help-Need to turn off Current Date after Saving

[donnac]

I have a Word document for which I have used the forms toolbox Two text forms I have inserted the Current Date feature. However, once this document is saved, I do not want the current date feature to update when it is opened again.

Is there a code or feature that will allow this to happen? I have two text forms using the forms toolbar in word.

Thanks!!

Hi donnac,

If you're working from a document template, it's best to use a CREATEDATE field rather than a DATE field (which you're apparently using now). The only time the date will update thereafter is if the file is saved via File|Save As.

If you're using a standard document, you can simply unlink or lock the DATE field once you've unserted it.

Cheers
