=================================== Word has a field "PrintDate" which presumably displays a property. This is the last time the doc was printed. As Dave says, this property will only be saved if the user saved the doc after printing. That is why, when you open and print a document and close it, word asks if you want to save. =================================== Which version of Word does this apply to? Does it apply to .doc files? I am running Word 2003. I just opened a .doc file and printed it. I then closed the file. It did NOT ask me if I wanted to save. James S.
