Modification Date Variable

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

You could use a variable. Keep a single page fm file with only one
variable, e.g. IssueDate. Update this and import into the book.

> In one of the books I am working on, I need to insert a date into each frame

> File 1.fm, then I need to insert 4/05/09. Since this book consists of
> several hundred frame files, more then one person uses this book, and people

> is changed regardless of whether any change occurred in that particular
> frame file (eg creating a TOC or updating a text inset).
>
> Is there a way to set up a variable so it only updates the date when the
> user makes an actual change to an individual frame file, while ignoring
> book-level updates?
