Thanks for answering me Balue, however, when I highlight the date field on
the original template, date/time is not a choice I can make under the insert
field. It's all grayed out. Any suggestions?! Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
You want to do Insert | Date/Time, not Insert | Field | Date/Time. If that
is grayed out, I don't know what to tell you.

Good luck.
 
You need to unprotect the form (Tools | Unprotect Document). Then press
Alt+F9 to display the field code and change DATE or TIME to CREATEDATE.
Press Alt+F9 again to toggle back and F9 to update. Then reprotect the form.
Every new form based on the template will have its own creation date.
