Are you refering to the date in the Word doc? If so your date is being
updated to system date when you open it. You used the 'Insert date' option
and set it to update.
Or are you refering to the file date shown in explorer?

The created date on the file is the date the file was created. If that
isn't what you mean, please describe what "date" (where it is, and what
put it there and what it changes to) you are referring to when you say
"original date".

Hello,
I am having this same Problem.
I am using MS Word 2003.
I typed a Document on October 29, 2008, and had that date on the
document.
IE:
October 29, 2008
John Doe
123 Main St
Anywhere, US 00000
Dear John,
Now every time I open the Doc
I get the current date on it, instead of the original date.
IE:
November 14, 2008
John Doe
123 Main St
Anywhere, US 00000
Dear John,
I need it to stay on the date I put there.
I have been googling this for a while now and have not found an answer,
and I just found this forum.
Any help here, would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hopefully I'll be able to find this thread again

If you don't want a Current Date field, remove it and replace it with a
typed in date.

The date is updating because it's a DATE field. Right-click the date and choose
Toggle Field Code. You'll see something like
{ DATE \@ "MMMM d, yyyy" }
Change the word DATE to CREATEDATE and press F9 (or right-click and choose
Update Field). That will always show the date the document was created.
If the document was made from a template that contains the date field, make the
same change in the template so that all new documents start out with a
CREATEDATE field.
