Stop Outlook from altering date of letters opened as attachment

[whitehead]

When I open a copy of correspondence attached as an email Outlook
automatically changes the date from that of the original letter to the date
that I open it - any sggestions as to how to prevent this - if able to do so
- can it be done retroactively to letters on which the dates that have
already been changed?

Maany thanks

The letters must use a DATE field to display the date. These automatically
show the current date when fields are updated. You need to replace these
DATE fields with CREATEDATE fields which display the date a document was
created. You could use a macro to process a batch folder of such files. I
include one in my AddIn for processing batch files:
