This looks like it should do the trick... I'm not familliar with the code
side of Excel. How could I change your example to show a creation date
instead of a last saved date?

I know how to set up the current date to appear in the footer, that's simple.
I'm looking for something like the "Insert Field" command in Word 2003 -
where the date that appears is the creation, last saved or last printed date,
not the current date. Is this possible?
