Calling "BuiltinDocumentProperties("Creation Date")" produces a string which, as far as I can confirm, is formatted in whatever Windows date display style has been selected by the user, such as dd/mm/yy, d/m/yy or others. I need to use the string to produce a data in a customised format which is the same for all users regardless of the their chosen display format. Is there any paramter that can be added to the call to force the format?

Alternatively, since the internal Creation Date must be a number incremented daily from whenever the MS system starts (1 Jan 1804?), can one access that. If so, are there any VBA routines around to decode it?

Any other suggestions?

In hope

John
