Creation date is not right
Why when I use ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties.Item(11) would I get a date like 3-27-2005 on all workbooks that I start? If I try it on an old workbook the date is right, yes the date on my computer is set right. Thanks Paul B Using Excel 2002 & 2003 |

Because that is probably the date that the template that the workbook is
based upon was created. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Paul B" wrote in message ...

Bob, so the created date will always be wrong? It will be based on when you
installed excel and Book1 was created, is that right? Thanks -- Paul B Using Excel 2002 & 2003 "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

Paul B shared this with us in microsoft.public.excel.programming:
Bob, so the created date will always be wrong? It will be based on when you installed excel and Book1 was created, is that right? Thanks Yes, that could be correct. Or if you make a new template and make workbooks based on the new template, it would be the creation date of the template. Anyway, the builtin properties for Excel ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!! Excel does NOT update them the same way Word does. The only thing you could do that reliably works, is manipulate them using VBA. Just my humble experience with XL2000 and XL2003, but I could be wrong. ;-) -- Amedee Van Gasse using XanaNews 1.17.3.1 If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?
