When you open the template, both these dates are the same!
Templates are used only to create new documents, so the
document is created at the point that the template is opened.
But I think I see what you mean. You want a template
containing a date field such that any document created from
that template will, after it is saved and reopened, show the
date that the document was reopened (and then reopened and
reopened) and not initially created from the template.
As has already been suggested by others, you can do that at
Insert | Fields > | Other... | Document. Under Type select
Date and under Select select Date - not "Date (fixed)". One
point of confusion is that at Insert | Fields > you will see a
Date entry - but this is actually the "Date (fixed)" variety,
not the (variable) Date that you need. So ignore that and
proceed to Other... .
I trust this helps.

Thanks Brian, that works.
(this may be a duplicate as the first reply I sent seems to have
gotten lost in cyberia.
