check filedate and print it

[Chris]

Hi

I want to check last update on a specifik filename and
print the date to a bookmark in a word-document. like:
January 2004. Is that possible?

Hi Chris,

If you want this in the document itself, choose the point where you want the
date to appear, then press Ctrl-F9, which produces a pair of braces '{ }'.
Between the braces, type SAVEDATE \@ "MMMM yyyy", so that your field looks
like:
{SAVEDATE \@ "MMMM yyyy"}
Then press F9 to update the display, which will update whenever the document
is saved.

If you then want to refer to that date in another document, bookmark the
field containing the above date. Copy the date field. Then, in your target
document, choose Edit|Paste Special|Formatted Text(RTF) and check the 'Paste
Link' button. Press OK and you're done. No vba required.

Cheers
