Then save your work.
Of course, "SW-CreatedDate" is available. This can be short form or long, with or without time. Does that do it for you?

Given that you're a "virgin to VB" you would probably spend almost as much time or more learning the VBA to automate the job as you would actually doing the job manually. It sounds to me like your quickest option would be the one suggested by smcadman and CBL. $50 for PropaGator is probably worth the time saved.

You mentioned that you're contracting with this company. This is going to sound very management-like, but unless you're a pretty long-term contractor the best thing for the company would be to go the PropaGator route. When you've headed off to your next job they'll still have the software as an asset they can re-use. If you were a regular employee they could probably justify the time spent learning VBA as education, and then you would be additional asset for further automation tasks. Otherwise they're paying you to add an asset to your own skill set that you will take with you when you leave.
