Preserving doc "Date Created" as displayed in Windows explorer


hello.  we've retired sbs , have 2000 word docs have attached templates linked obsolete server.  using editattachedtemplates (vb.net) solves missing template problem introduces another.  it wipes date created - windows explorer purposes.

our staff accesses of .docm's windows explorer (sorted "date created").  without template repair app, each doc takes 30 seconds open , machines searching old server.

i not have access source code of template repair app.  also... not dev , not employ one.  so... hypothetically, if find alter vb repair app, in theory adjusted original "date created" displayed in w7 explorer unchanged?


to update templates , retain original file date/time stamps, see, example, code posted at: http://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=14499#p107602

cheers
