Date Created

[Richard Kreiss]

Top post:

Harold, you indicated that the screen field being displayed is !cd. Is this a typo?

If it isn't, !cd is coming from either 
Auto processing or @entsel. In either case you would need to know what real field is being referenced. 

If you want to insure that the creation date of a record is never changed, add a real field to the record to store it. R
This will avoid any chance of the date changing if the record is copied somewhere. Of course the new record must get this field.
