My first response was 'really! the date gets put in anyway?' Then I tried the ERT you suggested and suddenly I get two dates... For now that's perfect, but I have a horrible feeling I'll be trawling the archives to find out how to get rid of it soon!
Dave, The date is inserted by default. If you do not want a date on the title page (book, article, report), then insert: \date{} in the document's preamble. I have that as the default for all document classes. On the rare occasion I want TeX to insert the date, I remove it. BTW, if you're becoming addicted to LyX and LaTeX buy a copy of "The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition." It's a fascinating book to read and answers so many questions. Very highly recommended.
