I am not aware of any field that can simply be inserted which reflects 
creation date.  However, you can take a couple of approaches.  One is to use 
the "live" date field, and lock it, so that it will not update.  The other is 
to create a macro that runs and inserts the date at the proper location.  
I've taken the latter approach by incorporating it into an Autonew template 
used for creation of new memos.
