Is it possible to make a note with automatic update date?

&DATE is not a valid parameter. Try &todays_date, I think. If you use Intralink, look in the parameters for some system parameters with dates. I had to set my own parameter to a system one in order to extract just the year from.

&todays_date (lower case) is the system parameter which picks up the current date and puts it in a note. If you do this in a drawing, it picks up the date and enters it, in the note, as text ~ as fixed as text. To make it, in some sense, variable, you must put &todays_date in a format table, where it is preserved as a parameter and not converted to the string literal equivalent. But even in a format, it is, to some extent, fixed. To pick up a new date, you must remove the format or change to a different one and then place your format (C, D, E) from disk. As stored in the drawing or as brought into memory brings with it the old value for &todays_date. If you change from C to D, this forces it to read anew from the disk. Now the old C is purged from memory so reading C from disk gets you the virgin, new &todays_date value. Most cumbersome and definitely NOT automatic.
