<P><FONT SIZE=4 FACE="Arial">Does anyone here know how you can include a system variable, such as the file name or today's date, last modified date, etc. in a layout annotation (I keep forgetting to update the "Revised:" dates on my ?/&@?$!**@%*^ printed maps). I've pretty well mastered modifying labels using Visual Basic scripts, but the same techniques don't appear to work on text annotations. I tried using VB scripts, but all the script delineators I tried printed out literally (e.g., single quotes, double quotes, left & right brackets, etc.).</FONT></P>
