Hello, Yes Barry, I use FrontPage. What html editor do you use ?   When I save a file, FrontPage executes the instructions for the last modified date if any, and saves the result in the file.  As shown in the next lines. <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d %B %Y" startspan -->27 mars 2011<!--webbot bot="Timestamp" i-checksum="18550" endspan -->   Enormous disadvantage: you can't put the instructions away in an include file.   Someone suggested "mars" wasn't French for "March".  This last modified date language issue has been with me for quite a little while and those who care to have a look around http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~noemeetjesland/ will find the names of all the months in French including "mars".  In Dutch some government commission keeps changing the spelling;  it is "maart" and "april" etc.: no capital letters.  That's how it has been for at least 50 years. Lorrie's solution isn't really the solution because -- correct me if I'm mistaken -- it yields the last upload date of the file.  It circumvents the real problem.  But I will adopt it. (Thank you very much !) and my pages in English and Dutch will have the month of the last modified date in English (for the time being).  Of course for my pages in French no changes will be required.   For more information on this issue here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~noemeetjesland/meetjesland/lastmodified_2.htmis my test file with more on this matter.   Many thanks to all who contributed. All the very best ! DN.
