Thanks for guidance on my first foray into ERT,
On top of your document you can put that in ERT
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markright{\jobname, le \today{}}
The first line tell latex that you want homemade headings.
The second line creates a header on each right page
and choose headings in Format-documents
That will print in the header, the name of your file and the date
Buying a introductory book for LaTeX is a good investment, especially if you
have deadlines.

Charles

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.
Rich

It's been a while, but I think you'll need an ERT that contains
\today{}
LaTeX will automaticall replace '\today{}' with the time the document is
compiled. You can place this command in headers/footers if you want it on
every page.
