How do we keep the date on previously created fax
documents from changing to the date we re-open the file?
For example, if I write a fax sheet for March 1 and save
it as such, then re-open it on March 8, the re-opened
copy of the saved document says March 8 not March 1. How
do we keep the original date in the document when we re-
open it? I've searched and searched the "help" option to
no avail. 3/8/04
 
Change the Date field in your FAX template to a CreateDate field.

Press Alt-F9 to reveal the field codes. Make your change and press Alt-F9 to
hide them again. Don't worry if the date shown is the date the template was
created, when you use it to create new documents, it will update to that
creation date and then remain fixed.

This won't fix your currently saved documents, though. You'll have to do the
same thing to each of them. In that case, though, after you hide the field
codes again, press F9 to change that date if it still shows the current
date.
