I do not always want the program to reset the date to the current day but 
would rather keep the old date in the document

Press Alt+F9 to reveal the field code. In place of the date you should see { 
DATE }. Change DATE to CREATEDATE and then press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 to 
hide field codes again.
