The information in this article applies to:
When you programmatically create a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document with the Htmlconvert function, the value that you specify for the LastUpdated argument may not appear on the resulting HTML document.
This problem occurs if you do not include the DescriptionFullPage argument for the Htmlconvert function in your Visual Basic for Applications macro.

' Populate the array of objects for HTMLConvert.
Set ObjToConvert(0) = Sheets("sheet1").Range("a1:a3")
Set ObjToConvert(1) = Sheets("sheet1").ChartObjects("Chart 1")
Set ObjToConvert(2) = Sheets("sheet1").Range("a5:a8")
' Create the HTML document.
Htmlconvert rangeandcharttoconvert:=ObjToConvert, _
usefrontpageforexistingfile:=False, _
addtofrontpageweb:=False, useexistingfile:=False, _

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
Note that the Htmlconvert function is not supported by the Html.xla add-in included with the original version of Microsoft Office 97. You must install Microsoft Office 97 SR-1 or download the updated Html.xla add-in from the Microsoft Web site in order to be able to use the Htmlconvert function.
For additional information about SR-1, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
