Time Stamp of a Save As file Doesn't Change from Original

[froschatten]

I use a few Excel worksheets as templates. I open them, edit them with
new information, and use Save As and save them with new filenames.
I've been doing this for a couple of years now and this has always
worked great. About a month ago, I noticed that the date stamp and
time stamp of the new files I create are always the same: 12/29/2003
9:27 PM. I can open one of the worksheets that has such a date/time
stamp and save it as a different name, and it still will have that
same date/time stamp. I think there must be some kind of corruption in
the worksheet -- a kind of corruption that's being duplicated with
each new version. This corruption is preventing the date/time stamp
from being updated. If it isn't corruption, what else could it be? I'm
saving these worksheets on my PC's hard disk drive and not on a
network drive.

I don't have an idea, but you may want to mention your version of excel and
windows.

And if you save a brand new workbook, does it have trouble?

If yes, how about a Word Document or just a notepad .txt file?
