Hello,
When I simply check out a document that is from a network folder (using IML) the modified date of that document changes even though I have not changed anything on the file.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks

You can undo your checkout if you decide not to change anything. If you do not intend to change anything and thereby create a new version then you should open the document in Read Only mode. The logic is that you only check out the document in order to change it, therefor it automatically creates a new version and sets a new modified date. It does not matter whether you change the content of the document or only the metadata. In both cases it will create a new version and a new modified date.
