Hi Friends, We are using SPS 2003,WSS 2.0 .I have received a requirement that whenever any document is uploaded to a document library the modified date and created date is the document when we uploaded to the sharepoint ,but not the exact date of change of document created or updated .I need to show the date of doucment but not the uplodaed dated to sharepoint in the document library.Is there any way to show that.Please update me if any one know the solution for this. Ex: 1.doc -Created on 2nd April 2010 i have uploaded 1.doc to sharepoint today its showing created and modfiied date as today's date but not 2nd April 2010.I have to show the user 2nd April 2010 instead of the date it uploaded. Thanks in advance. Ravishankar Maduri MCTS,MCPD,MCP

That unfortunately is the way SharePoint (still - it's not just SPS 2003) works. In other words it is not possible to do what you want using Admin methods. You need to consider if programming (that intercepts the upload document perhaps) can solve this. For that please post a *new* (revised) question to the Programming forum here where you clearly state you are looking for a programming solution - not forgetting to write SPS 2003 somewhere in the title. 2010 Books: SPF 2010; SPS 2010; SPD 2010; InfoPath 2010; Workflow etc. 2007 Books: WSS 3.0; MOSS 2007; SPD 2007; InfoPath 2007; PerformancePoint; SSRS; Workflow Both lists also include books in French; German; Spanish with even more languages in the 2007 list.

Some complement to Mike’s “ You need to consider if programming (that intercepts the upload document perhaps) can solve this”: Suppose you are working with SharePoint 2007 and Word 2007: You can add a DateTime column to your SharePoint list to store the actual document create date. When you open Word document from the SharePoint list, you can read/update the value of the newly added column with Word document information panel (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc500578.aspx ); Word document stores the create date of itself in the build-in property named “create date”, you can get the value of the property with VBA code(http://vbadud.blogspot.com/2007/05/retrieve-file-properties-vba.html ); Create VBA code in Word document template to assign value of the content control (corresponding to the newly add SharePoint DateTime column) with value of the “create date” build in document property. Please read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb407305(VS.80).aspx#vb05autoword_topic5 for assign value for content control. Just some ideas, never tried by myself. Thanks if you can give feedback if you want to try.
