Summary
Similar to other scripts posted, my scripts adds both a date and time to a layout. It also adds the file path and file name on a second line. My script works a little different. No message boxes or duplicate stamps. Only the date, time, and file info will be added. And it is a Button control, Not a Tool control. Go through the process of adding the button and code in the text file instructions and you'll be able to use this feature. First use of the tool on a new layout will add a textbox with the info to the center of the screen, wherever you are zoomed into. You can manipulate the properties and it's location as long as there is a date in the text box. Click the button again and the information is automatically updated. That simple. Text will appear like this: Tuesday, January 1, 2004 12:00:00 AM C:\arcgis\title.mxd One more perk, it is open source so you can manipulate the code to your liking.
