"Created:" in an idw

Anonymous
Not applicable

Good Morning, All.

My question is this: How can I insert this field from iProperties into an IDW (see attached .png file)?

Yes, we can insert the "Creation Date" field, but users can forget to update this.

 

Thank You

1. Change your template for that field to be a prompted entry. OR Establish a Custom iProp for this OR Have the code overwrite the Creation Date Property field

2. Write said program that uses: File.GetCreationTime(oDocInQuestion)

... This is actually going beyond iLogic and using VBA/vb.net. You can find more on this if you google "msdn + vb.net"
