Question on Dynamic Text on Date ?

DEAF_PROBERT_68 — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:34:50 GMT

My question to you is how do I prevent the date from open a mxd each day ? What I would like the date to preserved it when you last created the Map Layout.in mxd ? Each date was insert under ArcMap using the Dynamic Text and then use the Current Date.

For example, when you set up your project and create a Map Layout the day you created (ie 2/21/2017) ? So, the next day you open the same Map Layout and the Date changes to 2/22/2017 ? I would like to have the date to preserved to 2/21/2017 rather than 2/22/2017 ?

I do hope you know what I am trying to say here.

Thanks !

Don't use dynamic text if you do not wish to have it updated.

There is another date in dynamic text , maybe help you.

Date Saved . it is not changed if you don't save your MXD after that.

But still Michael Miller suggest is better than that and more appropriate for your case.
