If you have MPEX you can set a variable in your startup of your logon UDC or
in the UDC for MPEX:

SETJCW MPEXPRINTKEEPAMDATES = 1 - keeps the dates when using the Print
command
SETJCW MPEXCOPYKEEPAMDATES = 1 - keeps the dates when using the Copy command

The reason I never like to see these dates change is that I need to know
when a file was last used by users vs. using MPEX to look for a character
string through a series of files.

OK, I'll bite: why should viewing the file not be considered as an
access?

The only significant fault I've found in MPE's handling of file dates is
that copied files don't get the same datestamps as the original.
Although the current handling might fit into a strict, blind
interpretation of "creating a copy", it doesn't match with what we see
on most other systems.
