Thanks Sven,
 Did this:

  Dim f as FolderItem
  Dim DateCr, DateMod as date
  
  If Document = Nil or DisplaySaveDialog then
    #If TargetWin32 //if on windows
      f=GetSaveFolderItem("rtf",FileName) //use rtf fle type
    #else //on Linux or Macintosh
      f=GetSaveFolderItem("text",FileName)
    #endif
    
    If f.exists then
      DateCr = f.CreationDate
      f.CreationDate = DateCr
      DateMod = New date
      f.ModificationDate = DateMod
    end if
    
    If f<>Nil then //if the user clicked Save
      Title=f.Name //window Title gets the name of the document
      Document=f //window property gets the folderitem
    End if 
  End if
  
  
  If Document<>Nil then
    Document.SaveStyledEditField TextField
    TextHasChanged=False
  End if

But same thing happens.

Kindly advise.

Thanks.

Lennox

something like this

if File Exists then
read old date to a variable
write new file
newfile.CreationDate = olddate
end if

(check the LR folderitems about date and time stamps on files)
