    Obtain information about files on your system RESOLVED

    I'm going to be making a properties form giving some basic info about a file that the user double clicks on in the filelist box. Things I want to obtain is the file size of the selected file and if possible the date that it was created. Is there a way I can do this?

    The following will return the Last Modified Date/Time, like:
    VB Code:
    1. MsgBox FileDateTime("C:\temp\SomeFile.txt")

    Date/Time Modified & Size (in Bytes) like:
    VB Code:
    1. Dim strFileName As String

    2.  
    3. strFileName = "C:\temp\SomeFile.txt"

    4.  
    5. MsgBox "Date and Time : " & FileDateTime(strFileName) & vbCrLf _

    6.     & "File Size is " & FileLen(strFileName) & " Bytes"

    Certainly one way to obtain file info, but if you can do it without the overhead of the FSO, then why would you


    manavo11: Thankyou
