Not so: the CREATEDATE field reports the date the document was created, no matter when the field is inserted. -- Suzanne S.

From: Terry Farrell on 2 Mar 2010 09:16 Sorry. I don't know what happened there. What I had commanded my fingers to type was: "Note the words "CREATE DATE". They mean exactly what they say: not the date the field was created but the date the document was created." I'll explain that away as my excitement of going away on holidays for two weeks this Saturday! Terry "Suzanne S.
