Re: The date is getting up graded to current date in old saved files

And if the document wasn't finalised on the date it was created, you may need to use {SAVEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"} instead of {CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}, then re-select the date and press Ctrl-Shift-F9 after updating it. This converts the date to plain text to prevent further automatic updating.

The reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows the system date. What you need to do is change those date fields for createdate fields - ALT+F9 change {DATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}or {TIME \@ "d MMM yyyy"} to {CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"} then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the date in your letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the correct dates. The switches \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your location.

I am using Windows XP. I had Letters drafted and saved earlier in
JUne 08 with the date on that particular day posted from the "Insert
Date".

I have opened the same file today. The date is up graded to today's
date that is 19th July 08. It has happened in other files also. I am
unable to know on which date I had actually drafted that letter.
