This worked for me but I can't take the credit for it. It was something I found ages ago and kept for future use.
On your layout window place on a piece of text representing the date. Save this as a workspace. Use a text editor and open the workspace. Look for the Create text statement with the date you just added to the layout. It should look something like this
Create Text
str$(Curdate())
(1.2587,7.9584) (2.9862,7.4844)
Font ("Arial",0,15,0)
The STR$() Converts the date to the current date.
You could also in front of the STR$ add the word "date:"
Such as the following
Create Text
"Date:" + str$(Curdate())
(1.2587,7.9584) (2.9862,7.4844)
Font ("Arial",0,15,0)

Does anyone know of a tool or script that will attach the current date,
workspace etc to the border box or at a specific location on a map layout.
Thanks in advance.
