Post Inserting the date a spreadsheet was saved into another document

Hi All

Please could someone help me. I have a client that will be updated an excel spreadsheet - the spreadsheet then auto populates Rich text content controls in a word document.

They want to add a validity date into the word form that will show them when last the excel spreadsheet was saved.

Is there a way to do this I know I can insert a date in word for when the form was last saved but I cant figure out how to insert the date the spreadsheet was last saved.

Default

You could use a function like:
Code:
Function GettFileDate(StrNm As String)
'Requires Reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime
    Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    GettFileDate = fso.GetFile(StrNm).DateLastModified
End Function
which you could call with a line like:
MsgBox GettFileDate("C:\Users\" & Environ("UserName") & "\Documents\ExcelWorkbook.xls")
